Morning all,I've been pondering the above for while;I could fit a " lithium iron" battery, buying one with large enough cold cranking seems easy enough but would 20 amp hour be enough?
Jump starting the van from my "ax" (tiny battery) works well.
Any thoughts?
Smallest starter battery?

Re: Smallest starter battery?
Don't know the answer but why would you want to, are you struggling for space or something?

Re: Smallest starter battery?
I'm thinking about fitting an intercooler at the bottom of the side air inlet and the battery is in the way,if I could fit a smaller battery I would have less trunking to do.

Re: Smallest starter battery?
Why not fit it under the drivers seat as in petrol vans. You can run a very big wire to the rear.

Re: Smallest starter battery?
Why wouldn't you put the intercooler the opposite side from the battery?
My intercooler is on the n/s
And looking up the scoop
The other side is basically the same only with the oil cooler

Re: Smallest starter battery?
Nicq,I've got the leisure battery behind the drivers seat and behind the passenger seat has Yvonne's stuff in it.
MGP,I'll have a look at the near side again,but it's a bit full on that side ( fan for the turbo and air cleaner)
It would make more sense for me to move the air cleaner to the off side!
What intercooler are you using?
Ta.

That intercooler is from a mitsubishi L200 bit it does require the box at the bottom of the d pillar to be extended forward slightly to get it in there

Re: Smallest starter battery?
