Battery specification

Post by chano »

A basic question, i know. but would appreciate advice on minimum/maximum spec when buying a new battery for a 1990 (LHD) Caravelle 2.1 petrol/injection. I'm in the Canary islands, so low temperatures not really a problem. It hasn't been moved for a few months and the old battery is dead.

Appreciate any advice.

thanks

an 065 is what you want iirc
to be honest the motor factors will have the information in a book and can get you the right battery for the job, if they can't find a supplier who can
Bosch supplier may be most expensive but will be good, and may be price competative
