Yostumpy Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Its cold, its frosty, the battery is prob 4- 5 yo std jobby. and its a slow turn over, always starts tho. Its a 110 300tdi HT No frills no winch, no entertainment,. Whats a good battery nowdays, thinking BIG, 1000cca 110 AH type thing. A while back folks were raving about the Numax marine one, are they still available, / good, or is there a new puppy in the litter tray. Obviously needs to fit straight inn, no alterations to cables battery box etc, and pref under £100. Not going to stump up for an odyssey or optima. I'm sure technology has moved on a bit in the last 5 years. many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Enduroline is the rebranded Numax, I believe. CVX-X was the model? Doing from memory so may not be right Available from tayna.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litch Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 This is a post I placed on another forum just a few weeks ago......... Just got around to replacing the battery on my 300TDi 90, the old one hadn't given up the ghost but I thought that with winter coming and the fact that it is often left parked up for weeks at a time it was better to be safe than sorry. The vehicle has been SORN'd for the past 3-months and despite only being started up for short periods of time (to move it around on the driveway) it still turned over perfectly and fired up like a watch. The old battery? A Mercedes badged Bosch S5013 which I fitted in Aug 2005. Think it is fair to say that it gave good value for money and there are no prizes for guessing that I have replaced it with a new Bosch S5013 (100AH / 830CCA).

Bowie69 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The enduroline one is the one, just looked it up, the 1000A is MCA not CCA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Here's a summary of the battery cranking specs: http://bakerprecision.com/battery1c.htm That battery is 1000A MCA, it is a split use leisure/starting battery, which can be good for LR users. It also has the extra terminals, which is really handy. It is 585 CCA, which is more than enough for any LR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yostumpy Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Ah but the enduroline 069 std LR battery has 85ah and 680 cca, so how is the cvx better? and the Bosch mention above has 830 cca????????

Bowie69 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It is because it is a cross-over battery, between leisure and starting, which as I said, can be good for LR with a lot of accessories, such as fridges or work lights that are a steadier drain and can discharge the battery to a lower level than starting tends to. It is up to you what you buy of course, and will depend on your application. If you want to go big, measure up the battery box and find the biggest you can find, but with no winch, no entertainment or anything special, you are probably better off with as standard a battery as you can get, anything more is just wasting money as won't last any longer in years at least.

simonpelly Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hi There, Got one of these a couple of years ago. https://www.tayna.co.uk/H3-Varta-Silver-Dynamic-Car-Battery-P3127.html This fits into the battery box with no modifications and also allows the existing battery clamp to be used. It fits by the grace of a couple of millimeters. 100Ah, 830CCA Starts like pressing a button :-) Simon... http://pellylandroverdefender.blogspot.co.uk/p/battery-box_20.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
