can u advise on new battery for 300tt 1994 import.

Have been told calcium plates and 71ah 650 ah. What cold start figs should I look for and make/model. Thanks

As far as I know, all car batteries have lead plates, calcium can be added to the electrolyte (or something like that)

 

If there is a Costco in your area, they sell Bosch Silver batteries at a good price. I bought the most powerfull one they sell, and it was about £39, over 70 ah I believe, with loads of cranking power.

Bosch Silver are a good battery, but not the right size fitment for the zed, you can bodge one in, but not sure if the original clamp will fit this.

 

 

Paul:confused:

The Bosch ones fit the compartment fine. The are not as high as the old Nissan ones, you just need to add a few washers to the threaded rods, or put a solid wood shim under the battery, works perfect.

74 Ah merc ones fit fine!! :D :D :D

Most manufacturers use the same numbers,

 

069 For UK spec (if you fit these to j specs the +/- are the wrong way round!!)

 

096 or 100 for imports.

I agree, I've got a Bosch Silver in my UK, and it's fit's like a glove.

Didn't even need washers on the tie down.
