Battery advice.

Post by aps550 »

The winter has taken its toll on the battery of my van, any advice on the best replacement and where to go ?

Many thanks.

What engine?

If battery under your passenger seat then you need a EU size 90. Go for Bosch if you can, and the higher the amp hours the better. Also look into the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps), the higher the better of this too.

I guess it would help if we knew what engine the battery was spinning over ?
