What battery for a 360 f1?

[Fidgits]

Battery has died on the 360, I'd like to pick one up this weekend to replace it, which one should I get?

from my 430 experience only the rubbish ferrari one or similar size will fit. tried to fit a better gel based one from Optima but it wouldnt fit in the cage

I recently replaced mine in the 360 and purchased a Bosch 70AH from GSF Car Parts part number 971AA0962 59.60+vat. Being in the footwell it's an uncomfortable install to do but does fit in fine.

The battery comes with a three year warranty. I keep the invoice in the car and should it go in that time I can go to the closest branch and get a replacement.

easiest way to install is to kneel on some carpet outside of the car to access/disconect. then sit in passenger seat to remove from its housing. i got it down to about 10 mins in the end when my 430 was eating batteries due to a tracker problem. cant say i miss that!

The problem is, it's in the garage with the passenger side against the wall, so it takes me leaning into the footwell from the drivers seat!

sounds awkward as its pretty heavy to lift out. you will probably need a torch too
