RS2 Battery

[rustybullethole]

Can anyone tell me the correct output in Ah and Amp for an RS2 please.

Battery type listed is 065
Specifications will vary depending on manufacturer.
Typical Ah rating might be 56Ah with CCA of 500 amps.
Obviously space is an issue so the physical size of the battery matters. 075 type has better specification and is same shape.
Would do no harm to fit the higher capacity one.

Im already sorted thanks I managed to get a 75Ah 680 CCA. With the old battery which was only 4 years old just died over night, normally batteries die slowly and give some indication that they`re on their way out. This one just stopped as flat as a witches tit, completely dead over night.

Anyway things are good as it starts the car again.

Good you're sorted. 680 sounds more like it!
Whilst on the subject....is your battery held down with a clamp at the front corner or a strap going over the top??

The battery base on the passenger side and in the boot has a fixed bar on the outer side of the battery tray and a sprung mounted bar that clips across the base of the inner side of the battery. There is a strap in place but that holds the battery cover/jack holder/jack in place once the battery is in position.

I have nothing for the corners of the battery holding it in...

Ok, thanks for that.
