Battery - recommendations please
« on: September 10, 2010, 05:46:39 pm »
My car's nearly 5 years old now and the battery voltage is starting to drop below 12v so I'm thinking of swapping it before the winter. Does anybody know what the required battery spec. is (amps, max. load, etc.)? Also, I've heard the quality of new batteries is pretty poor at the moment so does anybody have any recommendations?

Whatever battery you choose, try to get the equivalent to your present one so as not to have to "vcds" the info to your ecu.
