Does anybody know the right spec for a new battery for a 400se?
The old one has got 80AH, 800A SAE/760A EN marked on it, don't know if these mean anything or are they just re-order codes??

80AH: number of amps per hour it can be reloaded with. Also indication of of its power.
780A: cold start amps it can deliver. The higher the better.

My logic is to get a big a battery as you can fit (space is limited), and 64-70AH is good enough, more is better. Coldstarting 700A or more is good. The better the more expensive
Have a bosch silver 64AH 640A and is doing fine for the last 5 years. It just fits.
