jameshub Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 i need to get a new battery for my Ex-MOD defender 90 as the winter starts are causing a few problems + the battery has never been very good. Obviously i could get a standard battery for not a lot but does anyone have recommendations on more expensive but far superior battery? also, thinking of keeping a starter kit in the Landy, something like the StartMonkey 400......anyone got any experience with this or other starter kits to keep in back?

jameshub Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 batteries are all the same size aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Nope, you'll find lots on here to chose from, http://www.tayna.co.uk/ go for one with a CCA of 663 or higher [CCA = Cold Cranking Amps] a rating that the battery can supply for approx 30 seconds IIRC.

ejparrott Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I could be wrong, but I always understood vehicle CCA to be rated at a higher ambient temperature than Marine CCA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffia Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I just had a Numax 017 fail on my 110 ffr in the recent snow - impatience drove me to Halfords and I ended up getting a huge Bosch Silver - biggest they had - can't believe the difference Not a battery expert but the spec quotes a CCA of 700 +/- IIRC ( even on the Halfords flippy guide)- I don't think that would have tickled my 2.5NA! Thinking of getting another for dual system - but currently trying to get some oil back into my rear diff - seems to have a bullet hole in it and no oil! Good luck.
