What batterie?
« on: 11 August 2014, 05:07:31 »

Right guys,
I recently bought my omega estate.
It's a 2000 registerd CDX estate, automatic, 2.5 v6 24 valve.

If I leave the door open and the interior light is on for half an hour I notice it's hard to start with the current batterie.
As it emptys hisself very fast.
Checking it, it's a new batterie, but from the size I think it's not the biggest power.

Now I moded my v70 with a heavy duty diesel batterie, but the omega has no space for such a huge batterie.

What's the actual real power sized batterie for this car with all the electrics etc?
Thinking of exchanging the current one for the original one or may more powerfull one same size.

Guessing the last owner just bought the cheapest he could get.lol

Can't say, is so old and has no label or writting on it.
It looks very small.
Half size of the tray.

Or if you really need the power? Stick a optima 4.2 yellow top in there.
They are pricey though  :y
