Is 540A too small?

[danhutton]

Do I need a type 72 630/590 A battery as the bible suggests or will a smaller capacity do?

Do you want the car to start after it's been left for a week in cold weather or not?

Are you having problems finding the correct battery?

I have recently changed the battery in my Chimeara. I sourced an identical battery to the factory original from a specialist battery wholesaler in Corby (Northants) near to where I live. It cost £53.00 inc vat.

Why go for a smaller capacity battery?
