| Replacement battery thoughts |
|
Looks like the battery on the RRS is on the way out.
Any recomendations on replacement.
Have had quick look and wondered if the FFRR battery would fit giving a higher cold crank and output.
any thoughts on these 2 batteries.

D4...?
Sorry...just couldn't resist...  The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Just make sure it can withstand the higher charge voltage - up to 15.5VDC, any lead-calcium battery with the correct Ah / CCA capacity will be fine

Rating is 825 Amps, not sure if that's CA or CCA - seems a bit high for CCA.... but that may be due to being a PbCa battery
