Battery and cables - rocker8742 - 06-09-2013
After a new battery for the 6 what should I be looking at and where from?
Also want to replace the cables from the battery to wherever they go to, how much cable William need for this and what size cable? Looking to replace the terminals at the same time so what do you guys recommend

I would say its worth spending the little extra and get a Bosch 1. Get 1 with a 3/4 year grantee. Pop in to Dorset auto spares and see what they can do for you

Looks good to me, mines 600cca if i remember but i guess the derv takes more turning over.

The petrol battery box is the same size as the derv one, I always where possible fit the derv equivalent as it has better cranking power and isn't usually much more expensive.
As for the cables I would suggest looking out to see if you can get a decent condition genuine set.
If you do want to make them yourself you need at least 135amp cable
Re: Battery and cables - rocker8742 - 11-09-2013
Well 540cca and 60ah is a jump up from the 360 and 45ah one that's in there at the minute
Would this cable be alright? Anyone know how much ill need and where i need to run the positive to apart from the altenator ?
Same with the earth where do i need to take them to gearbox chassis and...?

I've got a crimp tool for the lugs up to 70mm cable
Battery and cables - rocker8742 - 11-09-2013
Where's best to get the lugs and terminals mate? Seems to be far too many to pick on eBay
RE: Battery and cables - cully - 11-09-2013
exeter battery centre
or any electrical wholesaler

Will have words with the local tomorrow then cheers mate
Will a meter be enough cable?
RE: Battery and cables - cully - 11-09-2013
get a tape and measure it
alt>starter>batt for the +
Bat>chassis>gearbox for the -
then allow for terminatons and routing im guessing 1mtr will be short

Cheers for the info matey

Dont crimp.
Worst thing for electrical faults in future.
get the ends soldered on proper job. Most places that sell the wire will do it for you I expect if you havnt got the kit yaself.

I was probably going to cover it in solder too mate lol can't hurt
