    Battery dead question

    Drove around all day in my FFR until the end of the day when I got into it after stopping at the shops ... DEAD ... The battery wouldn't turn over the engine .. had a look and the battery is a "Charge Master" ... They must have put a cheap Battery in at auction ....

    The battery looks like it is Sweating ...

    What is the best replacement ?

    Why would it just die with no warning ????

    Most likely just dropped a cell - this is the time of year that crook batteries die.

    Take your pick, not a lot of difference between battery brands these days - I suspect many of them are made by the same manufacturer. I prefer CAT batteries myself - they seem to last longer and cost is pretty comparable. I think you have to go with an R type battery, ie N70ZZR for the LR cable arrangement.

    The "R" stands for reverse.

    It refers to what side of the battery the terminal posts are on.
