Car Battery

[mrRS4]

Ok ever since i have brought the car there has been a problem with the battery the guy i brought it off also said he had issues with it.

I know its not the alternator cause i have had the raa check that and the said its charging.

So i have decide that im going to buy a new car battery and was wondering what everyone else is using in there Stagea. This will also need to be powerful enough to run my subs that i will be putting in the car as well.

Cheers

I've got a battery from RAA. A 7232 battery if I remember correctly.

No problems as yet. Had it for about a year.

Starts the car with very little turning over after over a week of no use. No probs.

When I'm at work tomorrow, I can confirm battery code and battery price for you if you want.

Of course, it comes with a 2 year 24/7 roadside warranty as well

I have one of the bigger repco ones, not in a stag cos i dont have it yet, but 3 year warranty and heaps of cold cranking amps i think 305cca

Good value especiall when you have a 20%off voucher like i did hahaha

I just fitted one of these into my M35 Century Battery

Under AUD 100 from Bursons.

Fitted the higher CCA and longer warranty one in my old R33 GTS-t, but that was not in stock at Bursons, and was AUD 40 more expensive in Super Cheap so went with the 2 year warranty one.

anyone run a dry cell battery?

How do they compare?

[Tangents]

I'm running an odessy dry cell in my s2, smaller slim line type, not sure about code but can get it if anyone wants it.

Originally brought in 2004, had it in my s15 for about 10 months, before installing some subs etc. i Dont recommend using one of these smaller dry cells if you are planning on big sound systems, unless you run another battery in series in another location for the sound system. Battery had been sitting in the shed until about 2 months ago when i put it on trickle charge for 3 days and then put it in the stag, fantastic fit aswell (ill get some pics). Started first hit no problems and has been going strong ever since...

i sticky tapes 2 buckets together,filled it with banana skins,diet pepsi and tap water and used the handles at either end as positive and negative

Don't forget you have to wrap the handles in foil... Shinny side out it will not other wise...

sorry its shin on the out side on the pos and shiny on the inside for the neg, cos the 'lecticity flows from pos to neg

i also use diet coke cos its more acidic
