Omega Elite 3.0 battery
« on: 18 January 2012, 15:07:53 »
I'm sorry if this question has been asked many times before but I am getting confusing noises from various battery shops. The battery fitted to my 1999 3.0 litre Elite Estate is 55Ah. It's behaving badly at the moment and I want to replace it.  What is the manufacturer's size battery fitted to this car, various battery sellers are saying between 60 and 85 Ah, but I don't want to spend excessively as the car is maybe being sold soon, and if 55Ah is good enough then thats it.

Regards Dave

Seem to remember 65 AH was the VX choice for the Elites, having said that Im forever swapping Batteries on Cars that have been parked up for a while and have used 55 AH with no issues, specially now the weathers supposedly getting warmer.

Likewise, I'm sure 65 is the correct size for your car.  :y

I'm sure that 72Ah was recommended when I bought mine a few years ago. I'd say that a 55Ah is nothing like big enough for a 3.0 auto Elite. As a comparison, the Smart battery from Mercedes is a 42Ah (but was £76 +vat so it got a £43 50Ah from vauxhall fitted  :y :y)
