mcc1979ian Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Evening all. Could someone recommend me a battery for my 300tdi converted 90. A second for running my winch would be useful too. Cheers chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete3000 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I've now got 2 of tayna's exv90 batteries with 4yr warranty and bolt/clamp terminals. They fit in my 110 battery box. I bought them as a direct replacement for the numax xv24mf's i had before. No complaints at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Numax CXV35MF Sealed Leisure Battery Twin poles and managed to start both 200 & 300 Tdi's in seriously cold weather. The LED's draw so little amps that we use it for the "living" quarters aswell. No need for special winch battery, can't comment on that. We have them in 5 vehicles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 For general and starting use I just went to the motor factors and bought the biggest battery that would fit in the compartment. Been fine for 9 years now (touch wood...). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had it for a 3 years on a 2.5na and a 300tdi and it has been excellent. Will get another for split charge I think soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Numax, Numax, Numax! I have one of these in my 110 & another in my Movano Van:https://www.tayna.co.uk/Numax-CXV27MF-P3665.html More than capable of winching as well as general starting etc. You can fit two of these in the battery box. It's tight, but they will go:https://www.tayna.co.uk/Numax-CXV24MF-P3126.html These are an amazing battery which performs every bit as well as any of the (rather more expensive) 'winch batteries'. The thing IMHO that separates Numax from all the others is their tolerance of abuse. There are a lot of batteries which give similar performance out of the box but they become lame much quicker by comparison. Also, to get the same out of the box performance, you are looking at paying a good deal more. I've used a lot of these over the years - and keep being impressed - and keep buying more for new vehicles! I only wish they did one to fit in a D3!

mcc1979ian Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Cheers fellas. After a lot of googling I've purchased one of these https://www.tayna.co.uk/Numax-CXV31MF-P3694.html and upgraded from the 65amp alternator to the larger capacity 100amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
