Need a new battery for my T25 , 1.9 petrol water-cooled. Had been using a borrowed one off a car so not sure which is correct battery for it. Size , how many AH ? Would appreciate a bit of help !

Any supplier will have a list of what fits your van

Mine has a 75AH (Amp Hour) type 096 fitted as standard ("096" is a type number any supplier will recognise)

I use "Europarts" for good quality and prices

Thanks mate ! Just been on their website...........Good stuff and cheap.

The original capacity was less than 75Ah...... 60amp/hour I think, certainly not a 75amp hour on a 1.9 petrol. Having said this generally it is better to go bigger (within the constraints of the battery box and it's size) so by all means....just be aware that height is generally the problem, or lack of it!
A good battery supplier has cross referencing books to ensure correct capacity/polarity and fitment, just ask for a price.

Euro Car Parts just took one look inside my battery box and brought one out. Large capacity and just over £50. Exide at that.
