Which Battery

(1/3) > >>

Cheggs:
Hi,
    The alternator on the 300 has decided tp produce 14.75v and has fried the Battery, so I'm buying a new alternator but, was wondering which battery i'm better off getting ( should I go for a optima red top for instance), or should I just get 2 standard batteries and wire them in parallel? any thoughts apprecaited, thanks.

scatt:
Is your vehicle standard or modified? and if modified what sort of things do you want the battery/s to run. winch/ roof lights etc

Cheggs:
I want to add a Kenlowe and Roof lights, and would like a winch when funds allow, but since i have to replace the alternator, and the battery thought it would be the ideal time to add more capability, but can't decide if I'm better off with a pair of matched batteries say 2x 072 or an optima red top as the price is about the same.

boss:
look at x-eng.co.uk there numax batereys boast the same output as the optimas but at half the price!

JIMBOBLY:
im now in the process of the similar set up,but im leaving the standard battery where it is,and having a optima or something similar,and fitting a split charging system,if you dont know what that is,it charges both batteries,and if you flatten your battery through winching or your lights,you will still be able to start the vechile :D
