Batteries

Hi Rob. I can't see any problem doing that, if it was me I would put a new battery in saves mucking around when you least expect it. I use Supper charge Gold and find them to be excellent. Just my opinion.

You need to check the specs for the batteries to see if they can supply the CCA to start your car.

They may not like it but if you have no other option then you'll do it anyway.

If you take the car to an auto electrician he should be able to do a discharge test and give you an idea as to the batteries state of health.

Another rough test is, before the first start on a cold morning turn the headlights on for 10 minutes. then start the car, if it fires up ok the battery is most likely not on its last legs:)

If you have a 4 year old battery.....chances are it will not spec up on a diacharge tester......if you where just driving arround town and driving every day you may get another year or more out of it because it becomes an obvious problem.

Remember we are still in warm weather...when the cool weather comes ...that is when the battery shops do their most business.

Vote 2 for the supercharge gold.

cheers

Yes you can use an AGM deep cycle as a starter – you won’t damage it.
A 110 or 150 amp hour should bolt it in – but if they are old batteries they may have lost some of their capacity – do a trial jump start before you head out.
