sighnbox Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Ok if any one has seen the posting about my starter problems its been narrowed down but still have problems (see below) The starer problem Ok its gone to my mates and had an auto electrician out and ......with the new starter motor fitted on the landy with the battery (which is just holding 11 amps by the way) and a booster box on it the landy starts fine and the starter disengages ........But with just my fitted battery in the landy try to start it and it starts but the starter keeps spinning ...The auto electricians explanation was that the volts and amps and that if its low amps its allowing the starter to arc across and keep spinning ......Does this sound right ???? As surely every time my battery drops a bit low Im going to have this problem with the starter and that cant be right ....surely its more like a faulty battery rather than it being a low amp battery ??? Any way what's the best battery for my Landy loads and loads of power draw ...lights every where and mega powerful stereo system I believe 663 is standard 105AH and CCA 750A .....Can I go up from this ?

Mo Murphy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Get the biggest one that will fit in the battery box. It doesn't have to be a fancy battery providing that your alternator is in good shape. HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 as Mo says biggest you can afford & that will fit in the battery box. recently put 2 Yuasa silver 900CCA 100ah 5 year warranty in my 110. my local halfords had them on shelf & with my trade card made them cheaper than others I'd seen localy.

sighnbox Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I've been looking a 120Ah and 1000A or 1100A CCA ...4 year warranty £109.99 for the 1000A CCA one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 A dubious explanation about why the starter keeps spinning if you ask me... But can't give an alternative suggestion just now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocklandjohn Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Is it simply that the knackered battery is able to summon enough energy to start spinning the starter but its not sufficiently powerfully enough to 'throw' the starter gubbins to engage and turn the engine? That would explain why adding his booster box is doing the trick, but your on its own is duff. Mind you electricity is voodoo AFAIAC. Fit new battery. Try Tayna: link no connection with them but very helpful folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a daft question (or two) but is the battery box the same size on a 90 as a 110? And how did you hold these down? I was going to get twin batteries fitted and had been looking at fitting a red top and a yellow top optima, but these are much more in my budget range (currently nil, but hoping to raise some soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 yes it is the same size, made my own securing rods/straps with M8 threaded rod & nuts/washers 7 a strip of 25mm wide 3mm thick ally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
