That's the battery kill/electrical cut out switch. Stops any drain on the ickle battery when not in use. Also another rather handy security feature

It weighs just 6kgs but can churn out 695 amp/hrs of cranking current. Saved me nearly 10kgs in weight compared to standard Vaux battery

Had a little outing in Vibs' Punto too. Very, very punchy - pulled like a train. And nice chirping noises from that bleed valve

The battery was £85, including the brass terminals. Had to get a bracket fabricated though to get it to fit on the existing tray.
