« on: 04 January 2015, 15:24:10 »
Good afternoon all.Just doing some tinkering on the car,when i noticed.When the garage fitted a new battery the other day,they said it was 66ah.But it a 56ah is that good enough for a 3ltr elite.Dean.

Hi Robson,just spoke to the guy at the garage.He only has a 60ah but with 620a.The one he sold me is 56ah 500a,so it should be better.As i only do short journeys now,he said he will change it and fit it for no extra cost.So result.Dean.

My 2.6 has a 71A/H battery which works well.

I would say that a 56 A/H battery will be under-nourished when the temperature really drops.

Hi Opti,its funny vauxhall say 54ah is ok for a 3ltr omega. But from what i am reading,its not the ah that counts.Its the amps depending on long or short journeys.

My 2.5 CDX V6 (V plate) MFL still has her original VX battery in snug jacket   :y :y :y :y :y

Not sure if that is a World Record  ::)

(Mental note, pop her on charge later  ;))

The correct battery for your car is a 72Ah 680A.
