Faulty Battery - what should I replace it with?

Rob3104 · Nov 14, 2013

Following my landy (300Tdi) not starting on Sunday AM Ive had my battery on trickle charge but it does not seem to be holding the charge. Im guessing its knackered.

The battery thats currently on is 60amps (CCA SAE 570amps). Am I right is saying that its not the correct battery?

Whats the minimum amps I should be buying. Any suggestions on upgrading the battery?

lots of posts to search for on this one, you mean 60ah ?

a lot of people like Enduroline CXV-X 1000 Amp - Car Batteries - Enduroline Car Batteries

it's mca, so the cca should be around 800-850 at a guess.

That looks identical to the Numax 1000A battery Numax CXV-X 1000 Amp - Leisure Batteries - Numax Leisure Batteries

Got one of those in my D1. Well actually its standing in on my D2 for the moment lol. Great battery, I'll be getting another to dual charge my D1.

edit - Numax one no longer available - replaced by the Enduroline above!

so is a CCA of 570 too low?

iirc it should be a 072 630cca, but if you are upgrading, then stick as big as you can fit in the battery box. it'll help with cold starts and a worn engine.

everyone seems to like the battery above and it's not a bad price at all. there might be other batteries in the for sale section too.

Go for the biggest that will fit.
I have a late Rangerover battery on mine which is around 1100 cca if I remember correctly.
I have to remove the top rad bracket and move the rad slightly to get it in but its never failed to start.

Get the biggest you can fit in the hole, i had to trim a bit off the rad bracket to get mine in, but it was the highest output for the size lol
