Thread: DISCO 4 2014 TIME FOR NEW BATTERY

Thanks guys.

I’ve got warning lights over my dash and struggling to start so not going to wait 3 weeks for a replacement SSB.

I’d never heard of the Amaron but think I will pull the trigger this afternoon and see how it goes. It seems to get good reviews so will see if it’s up to the demands of the Disco!

That's an interesting conflict. Higher CCA means more (thinner) plates, while biggest RC implies fewer thicker plates.
Why do you need to max out CCA? The Lion V6 (either version) is not a particularly vicious beast when it comes to cranking, but the current draw of the electronics is "somewhat severe".

I go for adequate CCA with a better RC frankly.

I have only heard good about the longevity of the Amaron batteries.Will go for the Amaron ,Jade Din95 to replace the Varta G14 and the SSB 50D before winter..Goodchild prices look ok.

Great to hear further confidence in the Amaron. Do you mean you'll replace your main cranking Varta G14 and deep cycle 50D with a single Amaron battery?

I've currently got a dual setup SSB SS88Ti and a SSB 50D and Traxide setup. Both batteries are stuffed. Will replace the SS88Ti with an Amaron this afternoon. However, not sure whether I will replace the 50D with another 50D this afternoon at the same time. Would it be bad to only replace the crank battery and leave a dead 50D in place for the time being.

If it’s dead, disconnect it and don’t make the new battery support it.

Good call. Thanks.

OK, the Amaron LN5 DIN95 has been fitted. Let's hope I can report back in 3+ years that it's still going strong!

It's a Traxide system,so probably have to modify the tray to fit Amaron 100D26R [225Hx260Lx173W]or go for the H5-LN2AGM

Any other recommendations?

Hi Bee Gee, can you be more specific about what you mean by STUFFED???
