Stagea 250Rx Battery Recommendations

[IST]

Hey Guys - was wondering if I could get some advice from the community regarding a new battery.

I use my Stagea about once or twice a week at the moment (company car in the week), but the current battery seems a bit small for the car perhaps, as it doesn't seem to hold the charge with a week or so between drives (aftermarket alarm/immobiliser and leds on all that time). I had the alternator checked and that's all good, so It must be the battery - the previous owner drove it every day and didn't have any problems with it, so I'm guessing it's the time between drives that's the prob.

It's a 2002 250RX - what size is optimal that will fit you reckon?

Thanks!!

I used a Ford battery in mine, a cheap 650cca one. Had to change the terminal clamps over and modify the battery holder a little but it works well. Plenty of room in the tray for it.

Although "bigger is better" is definitely and answer, you may want to do a voltage drop test and try to isolate whether a particular circuit is in fact doing the draining. It may not be the immobilizer, but it could be, in which case and automatic battery charger is very helpful for keeping the battery maintained.
