Rob350 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 My car has recently been struggling to start on cold mornings, once started when I turn it off and try to start it again within 12hours its fine and the volt metre reads 12v, but if i leave it switched off for more than 12 hours it just about starts, when I've left it off for more than 12 hours the volt metre reads just under 12v hence why its just got enough power to start. So I was thinking the cold might have finished my battery off, so was going to buy a new 1 but when I look for batteries there so many choices and ratings of cca (whatever that is lol) and prices, I'd just like abit of advice of what to get please Muchos gracious seniors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 http://www.eurocarparts.com/car-battery Knock yourself out. Just enter your reg then pick one within budget. More CCA = less effort the battery will exert trying to start your car (basically), but more CCA = more expensive too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound advice from Ekona as always, Following on from this, from what I've read, you want 60/65Ah for non sat-nav and 70-75Ah for cars with bulti-in satnav, The variance in prices is due to extended warrantly years (And also what Ekona states) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) If the battery compartment is the same size as the Skyline 350GT which i am pretty sure the JDM Z is, this battery will fit and give a much better capacity.

350jimbobz Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I might try a lightweight version. Odesey or something similar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha@lazytrips Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Bosch S5 008. Most capacity and highest CCA you can fit in the zed. No brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I might try a lightweight version. Odesey or something similar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I really wouldnt unless you are trying to save every lb or so and if you do, make sure you trickle charge whenever not in use.

docwra Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Whatever you buy make sure it has a lifetime guarantee on it, modern batteries only need to go flat once and they are never the same again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I bought a Varta, it comes with a four year guarantee which is helpful and inspires confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
