You can get a 70AH from VX which will fit inside the jacket still.

Nah - Elites come with a 120A Alternator. That's plenty for a 60-80Ah Battery. :y

Good job... :y
Mine was 72Ah, it provides unbelievable cranking power in comparison with the 60Ah or so, and I paid $80 three months ago...

Post by: Mr Gav on 10 December 2014, 22:07:28: When you type in your car on euro crap parts it only shows 72Ah batteries, options of 60Ah. Even the 72Ah batteries vary in the cca.
