Will this do? Right size/price?

This is what I have fitted to my 2004. It's bigger than the original one and needed to have the side clampdown rim trimmed slightly but just about fits. 4 year guarantee.

I can't make any sense from that link ? Any specs there somewhere ? I'd go 900 / 1000 Amps

yep I agree

Paff · 18-01-2015, 19:01

Is there anything need resetting when you change the battery apart from the clock? Radio? Alarm?

I see that the terminals are forward instead of aft, did you have to extend your leads? Mine won't stretch that far.

Are you talking about the CCA?

Ogri · 18-01-2015, 21:01

Oh, I didn't need to change anything apart from reroute the negative slightly to relieve a bit of stress. Thought that this was the normal way round to be honest? Just for accuracy, my + terminal faces forward and is towards the centre of the car.

Paff · 18-01-2015, 21:18

My terminals are nearest the bulkhead. So who is right?

Lazy-Ferret · 18-01-2015, 21:21

Mine are on the back of the battery, nearer the fire wall, and the positive is engine side.

+ 1

Perhaps mine was the other way around on the original battery? I really can't remember now but I certainly didn't do anything any more difficult than a bit of wiggling when I fitted this one. Oh, and cut a bit out of the clamp rim on the engine side. This battery came off my dead Mercedes W210.

I have a Bosche battery with terminals at the back of the battery, + at the righthand side of the batter which is nearest the engine. Same orientation for my 05 plate just a different brand of battery.

Nothing needed resetting on my 96 model but for some reason I got a buzzer when the ignition was turned off but after the doors had been locked and unlocked first time it didn't buzz again.

terrano bob · 18-01-2015, 23:06

right now I've got it

Paff · 22-01-2015, 15:15

Had some time this morning, so went to the motor factors and picked up a new battery. Platinum 250e - CCA 770 - 90Ah for £82

Got back home and removed the old battery, a 644? I mentioned this to the guy at the factors and he said that was a commercial battery

The 644 was about three inches longer than the 250e, was CCA 700 and had to have a made up bracket to hold it as it had no lugs on the bottom sides. Knowing who the Terrano came from the 644 was probably a battery he had kicking around somewhere, but when it was MOT'd it failed on an insecure battery and the garage charged him to make up a bracket.

So he saved a bit on a battery, but lost it on the MOT fail. So I am back to having the battery secured via the bottom plate with two bolts... well not quite true, I need another bolt as the garage welded some rod on one of the the original bolts

I'll have to keep an eye out for a bolt, it looks the same as the ones that hold the running boards on
