Starter battery specs.

Post by helen&tony » Sat Jan 15, 2011 6:27 am

Hi
I've just found the battery on the Bongo as flat as a pancake (haven't started it for a month)...was just going to run the engine for a while, so I took it out for a charge...only takes 75% charge, so need a new one...I'm looking for 100A/h like the current one, but can't find the CCA specs...does anyone know offhand what is normally required for a 2.5 diesel?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Helen

Mine is 830CCA and works fine, so I would guess anything over 800CCA would be more than adequate 8)

Hi
Thanks for that , gents. I have a 105AH but the cranking amp rating isn't visible...I tried searching , but those links didn't come up!?
I'll try the accumulator shop in the city, and see what they have!...i'll look for 800 plus CCA
