LS1 Battery

[BUCKLE vxgts]

Whats the correct battery for the LS1? Mines got a Halfords own brand. It was on there since i purchase the car a few years back.

I'm running a Bosch S5 096 (cheap from EuroCarParts eBay arm IIRC), but I had to hammer the tray slightly to get it to fit.

Dear B,

is your engine bay the same as 2004 Monaro? If so then the PH search function does provide a few hits for "Monaro battery".

Somewhere in there is my Varta Silver type number It's a smidge bigger than the original but did fit,

regards,
Jet

Mine is a 2004 and from memory it's type 027 it fits perfectly. No hammers required.

Yes I believe that a type 27 battery is the correct fitment. I recently went for a Bosch S5 type 027 - seemed like the best brand that was readily available in that fitment. Think I got it from Euro car parts.
