I need to change the cab battery, dealers tell me it needs a 017 or 019 
around 89 amp hour.  I notice the battery fitted is a 110 amp hour combined 
starter and leisure. My question do I need to replace a 110 amp as there is 
connections to the leisure (charging) or go for the Fiat recommended Bosch 
017/019.  Also I have been told to get a battery master fitted to stop the 
drain on the cab battery, which seems to last about 7 weeks, alarm etc seems 
to drain it.
Thanks D...........

There is no need for an isolator, just find out what's causing the drain and 
disconnect it in some way.

I'd go for the biggest battery that'll fit in the tray unless there's a 
massive price difference.

Yes it has a separate leisure battery (110) under the drivers seat I don't 
think there is a massive drain, just the battery is 4 years old and spoilt 
by running down over the winters     D...............
