Any half decent leisure battery would be fine. best to look online. places like halfords charge silly money.

Try looking at golf shops as they sell ideal deep cycle batterys for golf carts and they often come with a charger. Should be some clearance sales going on at this time of year.

If you had to carry the battery a long way would  recommend a Tracer LiFeP04 which are great betteries but are £££££

Yes Tracers are great though just a bit pricy. Fortunately I have a couple used for another hobby available.

85Ah should be around the same price as that wiper. £60ish

Armotek 1:6 scale Tiger 1 tank. Long term build project. Insane detail and serious money. Not that much less than a new TEK160.. 🙀🙀

I didn't know Tiger Tanks had stereo sound systems.

Or do you plan to blast out 100watts of "The Ride of the Valkyries" to scare the hell out of the enemy model tanks?  😀

Engine sounds, gun firing etc.
