Supposed to be a 65AH one from memory.

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

From memory,,,have i read somewhere you must have an alternator that puts out enough amps to keep that battery fully charged..but if you fit a far higher amp battery and the alternator cant keep up with it then it could burn the alternator out  :-\

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...

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.
