Battery replacement for 2006 V8 Vantage

[aspidito]

Does anybody have details for a replacement battery for my 2006 V8 Vantage rather than sourced from an AM dealership. Bearing in mind I am in South Australia.

Last time I looked at mine, it looked like a group 49 / H8. As it's behind the back seat. Get an AGM battery vs lead acid as it does not vent.

G‘Day Mate,
Redpants.lol has a good description on how to change the battery. I strongly recommend to hook a powerpack or charger on supply position to the jumpstart post in the engine compartment to supply power while you change the battery, these cars can forget important settings like misfire correction factors and others. To reprogram them you need to see a dealer with amds - you cannot reload them yourself.
If you do that you have to be very careful that the plus pole does not touch any metal.
Otherwise it is relatively easy, see that a mate helps you lifting the battery out and the new one in, they are damned heavy and you are working in a quite confined space.
Cheers
Christian

It's just a battery. Get a good brand of the correct size, and all will be well.

New battery fitted no problems. It is much easier if the carpet trim is removed rather than bending out of the way, by pulling the floor carpet out from under the vertical piece to get to 2X hex head screws that hold the vertical carpet trim in position. Battery is now very easy to lift out & in.
The car now starts very easy, the drivers door window glass reset ok & drivers door mirror works fine.
Problem is the passenger door glass does not operate from either door & passenger side mirror does not operate at all....any ideas please.
