Battery choice for a 2.1TD

Post by locoboy »

Can you recommend a battery for my 406 2.1TD 1998?

My current one has no spceifics listed so i cant even search the net for a certain amp hour battery!

Thanks

I've no idea what the specs should be but I got the biggest battery I could fit in the box and it's been fine for 3 years :cheesy:

I've just put a VARTA into mine (1.8 16v) as I do a lot of short runs, with some longer ones in between and the local motor spares place recommended Varta. I think it's got 430Amps of output
