Amp hours please

Amp hours please

think 85 to 100 AH is about right

is your engine hard to start? or do you otherwise run the battery low, lights on regular with engine off? Rick

perhaps a lazy starter, once the 'new edge' is gone off the battery it wont start. i would have thought even a cheap battery should do 3-5 years?

Its a good starter

85Ah not quite enough. 95 min 900cca min. £80-90 delivered. Hakfords do an exellent warranty on theirs. So I'm told. David.

read my battery thread! :thumb2

if you want the most AH and CCA possible to fit into the original space, and use the original clamp for under £100! with 3 years warranty!

Its a good starter

then I think you need to check for any odd item draining your battery, if it starts almost straight away and you do reasonable runs then the bat should be fully charged most of the time and out to last to around 5 years, it is when you drain them that they fail, Rick

just replaced mine,

thought was struggling on cold starts, though starts later in day were ok.

mot guy tested it thursday, said 12.7v was ok but on another scale was 114 when
said should be giving 190, and below 100 would be shot. was pricing me new one
when it failed completely yesterday. after a jump start took it in and swapped.
nice new 91AH on I think, £93.60, just what didnt need week before xmas but whats
alt, no car...
