Batterys

[Essential]

Hey,

It appears my car is due for a New battery, I'm just wondering if there is a spercific type of battery I would be looking for?

Im currently running a Stock R32 Gts-t

However im about to know it up to Running 1 Bar and a larger fuel pump as well as putting in my new Stereo which contains one 12".

Should this be fine on a Normal Battery? Or should there be a certain type or options to look for.

Thanks,

Essential.

this has been covered about a hundred times before. Search for it.

Compared to r33s where the battery is in the boot, and therefore must be sealed to prevent leakage, you can put whatever you want into the r32.

Search Seems to be playing up for me..

If you use the normal Search it doesnt return anything

If i use advanced search it doesnt return topics that cover what Im after.

Thanks,

Essential.

Just grab the biggest capacity maintainence free battery you can possibly squeeze into the space.

Battery terminals are easily replaced, so is the the wire, so if you cant find a big capacity (ie: ~550CCA) battery with the terminals in the right position, just replace the wire with single guage and a new terminal that handles single guage.

I've put big capacity batteries in every car I've owned as soon as I could and never had another battery problem again (my original kingswood replacement battery is still working, 6 years on from when I got it and is on its 3rd actual car, one of which borked the regulator and was constantly charging the battery yet it never blew up)

if you have your battery in the engine bay you can use whatever you like but in the boot you have to use a sealed battery . so yea the biggest battery you can fit in there but as a very minimum you want a 11 plate battery .

Nb - maintenance free = sealed.

if the battery is to big the altenator wont fully charge it hence it will shorten its life a wast of money indeed. I think what you are trying to ask is what size amp hour battery do i need. in wich case it's best to consult your nearest battry place and get them to test your altenator while they are at it. my 2 cents.
