YHTM Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Noticed over the last week or so that the battery was giving less umph(!) when starting. Today it wouldn't turn over at all. As far as I can see there is nothing on to drain it and the charging dial has been showing just over the 12v mark. It is an 05 import and I have read somewhere here that the Jap battery is not good. Anyone else with similar poor battery experience or is it more likely to be down to another issue? Will a UK 350Z battery fit as I saw that the posts are different sizes on mine? Quote
jim Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Can't remember all the details but Tim (Lomoto) changed his JDM battery for a standard UK one with very little difficulty. Somebody will be along in a minute to show you the thread, I expect. Quote

YHTM Posted August 5, 2008 Author Posted August 5, 2008 Thanks Digsy - was also hoping for any other JDM owners to confirm (or deny) the possible crap battery issue. Quote
sunset350z Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Should be showing at least 14volts on the gauge. Get the alternator checked out first, if thats fine then get a new battery. Most places will fit it for you as well, i know halfords charge £4.99. Quote
