Batterys

Anybody have a chart on what size battery,that i can fit in Imperfection.As the one i have is a size 43 and its a 250 cca,it turns the car over once than its dead.

I use optima batteries the best around heavier dearer but they work the one in the van is 16 years old did time in my race car then the van 950 Cca I also have in my rod it 7 years old and lives on its side under the dash .well worth the extra $$$$

i cant agree more optima is the way to go i got one second hand out of a electric forklift that had done 7 years of service then it lasted over 5 in my hilux

id go a yellow top around $300 retail buy if you look you can find them cheaper or

and my hilux had killed 3 12 plate truck batterys in a year

or the other option i have considered is running a dual battey system one for cranking and one for cycling eg leaving the stero running

but cost more than a optma so i went optima havnt looked back

I agree!
Could not get more than 6 months out of a battery in the AU then switched to a red top odessy and got three and half years! was absolutely stoked got the second one in now, but going for a yellow top for the van to handle the stereo gear.
Not sure how you will go with the size but have a look at the optima batteries they are pricey but small sizes with 850 to 1000 cca and lasting 10-15 years makes sense in the long run.

Edit above I put an Optima red top in the AU and you should check out the Odessy from Hawker industries.
I always get them confused
