What size battery do i need?

[The Surveyor]

Morning all, My Tuscan (2006 4.0 Convertible) has run out of electricity and needs a new battery. The old one has been loosing its charge for a while and finally let me down on Saturday when it wouldn't turn-over the engine after a decent drive.

I don't have the details of the existing one with me at the moment, but can somebody give me the reference and details for the right size battery, something with a decent cranking outage?

Thanks

Paul I fitted one of these in my 2006 Tuscan S Link these were original equipment on later cars and seem to last, mine was over five years old when I changed it.

That's great, thanks Nick.

Paul just one bit of advise if you are doing this yourself, on later cars the inboard clamp for the battery fixing is bolted into position:-

Also make sure you get one with the terminals the right way around. Pretty sure the later cars has the + on the outside.

That is correct as per the one In the link.

Fitted a new battery yesterday and the '+' is correctly on the outside. Secured nicely and turned the engine over beautifully. Job done
