V35 Battery

[itpesaf]

Hey guys,

Just a quick question - When swapping over an old battery for a new one does it change any of the settings in the car? Do I need to reset anything?

My battery seems to be a little low on charge and I'm thinking of maybe buying a new one tomorrow, just don't want to take out the old one and put in a new one only to find out I did something wrong/stuffed up electrical settings.

ps. What model number is the standard battery? what model battery will fit/you guys using? - Can I buy a battery for the car from autobarn/supercheaps or do i need to go to a battery specialist? (I'm located in Adelaide)

Cheers, and I do apologise in advanced if this has already been covered, I couldn't seem to find much using google.

the battery that came with my car died a few months after i bought it. replaced it with a centurey NS60LMF battery. no problems in the 2 years since i've replaced it.

when you replace the battery your trip counter will reset to 0000, not sure if there are any other problems. but that is the only thing that i have noticed.

Cheers for that mate! looks like supercheap are a retailer so might drop by tomorrow. How much was the battery?

Just another quick one - 5mm spacers, are they safe to use? Just wanting my front wheels to come out a little bit.

Cheers guys

not sure about the spacers, but the battery was about $120 from memory

reset your windows. once you get the new battery in place put the windows down and hold the switch down for a few seconds more. do the same when putting them up.

Cheers - went with a century NS60L.

Chris my power window motors are stuffed, after installing the battery I installed a driver side power window motor which seemed to reset itself as when I open and close the door the window drops a little as it is meant to. I read somewhere that resetting is only necessary on the g35's?

Usually resetting is necessary on any windows that have the 'auto' up/down feature.. so only the drivers side should need resetting..

My auto up down feature works perfect, no reset needed - I believe ok jdm models when you close the door and open first time after installing motor it resets - only usdm models require reset. That being said Ive also heard some jdm models require reset so don't really know :S maybe I was just lucky and it reset itself

Yeah i replaced the battery on mine everything was working fine didn't have to reset the window.

Not too sure on why USDM need to reset though as you said.
