The Ruby has had two batteries for some time. These were not for starting, but for night driving, and particularly for night nav rallies. Twelve hours in the dark was beyond the capacity of the battery, but this is all unnecessary now with the wonderful LED lights. Not got round to removing a battery yet. It looks rather jumbled under the bonnet. Battery master switches to keep the scrutes happy, water temp gauge line very visible, the red straps are for lifting out the battery, although there is an old fashioned school of thought that says lifting straps are for hairdressers and real men lift their batteries out with their fingernails, if not with their teeth. The small visible sockets are for another marvel of modern science, the CTEK charger. Much recommended to me, and I am now convinced what a good system it is for our sorts of battery.
