Default Which battery

Hi,

I've 2 batteries and I can't remember which one came out of the donor ( a CVH). One is a 43 AH and the other a 50AH.

Any ideas, anyone ?

Cheers


Peter

it wont matter both will be plenty. if you want to save weight then fit the smaller one, if you want to sit about with your lights on and engine off then fit the bigger one.

Hi Peter,

If you are feeling flush then i have found this battery that is a nice compact 45A battery:

Motaquip part no. VBY47 - it is 230 x 120 x 200mm high with round terminals.

also fits the Saturn bulkhead battery tray which is rather small.

Andrew
