02GF74 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 for those familiar with lots of different cars: I am looking far a 12 V car battery that is smaller than this one: (now the sensible thing would have been to measure the size but I didn't anticipate making this post so someone may recognise it and the model is 085; which isn't Ah). The battery needs to have 8 mm (?) terminals in the same place. Anyone got a Mini or micra battery to measure? Or know of website that gives this kinda info?

GBMUD Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Anything from a small Japanese car will be very small. Wrong terminals though. Mini batteries have round posts - but may be availabel with the "Ford" type. Halfords have them all on display, go take a look and see what suits for size vs. terminal type. You could always change the terminals on the wires... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 What about a Hawker PC680? They are about 3.5 x 8 x 10"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02GF74 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 furneauxriddall.com have all types/measurements on their site ..... except the important figure of cranking amps (m/cycle ones anyway) looks like a lawn mower battery may be the way; just need to find a local supplier. re: halfords - I did take a uick glance but spotted nothing particulalry small; also car application data e.g. micra - didn't show up anyting smaller.
