Title: what amp battery
Post by: supercharged spaniel on December 18, 2009, 10:05:55 am

Totally confused now. It's not that I don't know how to search for a battery online ha ha. But ... What is the standard battery size in amps fitted to a g40. Cheers for your help.

Found this out only the other day
According to TPS the manufacturer spec is the 063 battery which is sold under Quantum brand (~£18-20) and has specs;
Capacity of 35Ah
330Amps output

but for £30 you can get from TPS a Yuasa with specs (just ask for Yuasa version)
Capaciy 45Ah
425Amps

I noticed a difference, definitely during cold morning starts.
