Which Battery
« on: 25 January 2008, 09:49:29 »
Need to go to dealer to pick up crank sensor.  Really, really need new battery for MV6.

TC book (last years!) says 66Ah Go for all petrols except 3.2, or 72Ah for 3.2 v6

Which should I go for on my 3.0l MV6?  Would the 3.2 one be better, or should I stick to the 66Ah one?

I asked this not long ago, general thoughts seemed to be the extra cash wasn't worth it.   Been much better with its new battery.

The MV6 won't know whats hit it, new shocks, new battery, it'l think you love it again!

Scrag end of fish is not my prefered dish.....particularly when the tail, fins and scales are still very recognisable!

If they are physically compatible and similar prices you may as well go for the bigger one.

It probably won't make a huge difference in performance, so if there's a significant difference in price go for the cheaper one.

Why thank you  ::)

I was tempted for the bigger battery due to shortish runs these days
When I replaced the CDX one, that went from 55AH to 66AH as she does ridiculously short runs
