Installation and maintenance tips
A car parked under a streetlight for a fortnight can greet you with silence. Match the lead-acid technology of the original rather than swapping to a different type. Forgetting to tighten the hold-down lets the battery rattle loose.
The lead-acid technology explained
Lead-acid batteries are almost entirely recyclable. A wet-cell battery copes well with high engine-bay temperatures. Clean terminal deposits with bicarbonate solution.
Before you order: a quick checklist
- ✓ A different chemistry from lead-acid may need system changes.
- ✓ Check 306 × 173 × 222 mm against the tray, not just the old battery.
- ✓ Plus pole position: positive on the left-hand side. Mixing up orientation is the most common reason a battery of the right size will not connect.
