What are you putting it in ?

[greavesy7]

2.8i all standard

Dimensions of my battery are H 8.5" L 10" W 6.5" 585 CCA
I use a ground disconnect on the Neg terminal as it is an occaisional driver.
It starts in April w/o a problem.
I assume the LHD batt compartment is the same size as the UK Tasmin
It would appear big enough to take the next size up !

in the front battery compartment of the 280 wedges batteries from japanese cars fit well.

mine is a 36Ah, so realy small, cranking speed is perfect, car always start on the button.

048 or 049 should do it,terminals are opposite way round but battery can be turned to suit.
