Battery Died - Need Help/Advice

Post by benhl »

As stated above she died yesterday. i have no idea about all this elec stuff.

i need a replacement one obviously and need to know wether i should fork for a good one and what in fact constitutes a good one.

Is more CCA better? Is the such a thing as too many CCA? What is dry cell? what are these "new" no maintenance batteries like? what is a good brand, what sort of amp hour figures should i be looking for? etc etc etc :shock:

MONEY IF TIGHT AT THE MOMENT AND NEED BATTERY ASAP!

94 lux, 22r petrol donk, single battery (no duals or anything fancy), got stereo, 4 spotties, winch to come shortly. :armsup:

any help advice greatly appreciated - Thanks

My advice- buy the cheapest battery that has a high CCA and long warranty! Calcium batteries seem to be best for CCA vs size. ;)

I picked up an ABI Calcium - Calcium 560CCA for my Feroza for around $70 with 3 year warranty! It was over 100CCA bigger than a standard battery to suit and one of the best warranties available.
