Which battery is best

[mec]

Hi All

i took the De out for the 1st trip out since last year and found out the battery is shagged, just wondered what rating battery should be on the de or what you guys have on yours

Have you tried charging it on a low charge for a couple of days first?

Does your D still have side terminals on the battery or has it been converted to normal terminals?

[mec]

Ive had it on charge for a week and it still wouldnt start once i got to the petrol garage ! had to get a jump, its got normal round terminals on my car

[Dan 6511]

If its got normal terminals then just get the same size you had in before as it never seemed to struggle did it, even with all your sound system

[mec]

thats true Dan, i wasnt sure if the one i had in there was the right one as i "aquired" that one off a write off car from work when i was there !

[Dan 6511]

Well as your terminals have been changed for round ones there is no 'right' battery as originally they had side terminals. Just get one thats a nice fit in the compartment.

Get a halfords battery with a 2 year gauruntee, they do fuck up about 18 months of having them because they are not used everyday, and leaving a lead acid battery standing does the worst damage to them, and then just get a new one buck shee!!! I've been doing this for the last 5 years!!!! and it hasn't cost me a penny!!!!
