Battery Recommendation

Post by Danlufc22 »

Hi All

Need some guidance please, the MR2 MK2 1991 i have just purchased seems to have the incorrect battery fitted. The battery is new but i have researched what cold start level it is and it is a 350 cold start and i believe i require a 650 cold start.
Looking through what batteries are available i am struggling find one to fit into the car ..

Please help with some recommendations.. 1 step forward 3 back atm.

first question is, are you having issues actually starting the car ?
Not Plan B again!! Why don't we just go with plan B in the first place?

Just changed mine to a Lion 005 and I'm quite impressed with it.
