Thread: Disco Series 2 CAT Battery

Piddler

My brother in law had to replace a battery while we were over in Tassie. We asked the dealer in Launceston and they referred us to a battery place in the industrial area. He picked up a Full River battery (same size as the factory batter) with good CA for around $200 I think. Fitted it in about 10 minutes.

Thanks DM_TD5,
does that fit straight in the standard position without changing anything?

Yep, you may need to trim a bit of lead of the poles - the battery comes with studs and the lead poles just screw over them (about another $2).

Hi DM_TD5,
is there any reason I Should not go for the next size up battery and get the 1000 CCA version?

I don't know much about them but thought for the same size frame might give me a bit more juice?

Thanks Heaps for the PDF its great.

Cheers

Hi Piddler
This is the biggest PYSICAL SIZE that you will get in with no mods

Unsure without looking at the CAT website if the bigger CCA batteries are bigger in size.
This one is taller wider and deeper than the standard size,mine is only a 750CCA,but it was freemdid 3 years in a grader and now 2 years in my Disco.

The one I have is the 825CCA which is bigger than yours. The 1000's the same size so no problems there. I couldn't get one without waiting so I took the 825 at the time.
