Title: batterys
Post by: ade666 on February 18, 2007, 13:11:10

hi all. right search loads of topics for battery info and just need a little clarification. i have a excide deep cell batt for my winch and did have a normal starting batt but because i'm an idiot i kind of made an arse of jump starting it ( yep leads the wrong way round) i think i've killed the starter battery as it doesn't hold any charge for longer than about 5 seconds. what should i go for can't as afford optima etc. what specs should i look for

thanks

Any stadard diesel engine battery will do the job, 70 to 85 Ah capacity would be plenty to crank a tdi up, just make sure the terminals are the right side on the battery otherwise you will have some fun with it
