Which battery r u using ?

[Supera]

Hello!

Newbie in the house :p

I got a '95 J.Spec Supra TwinTurbo and I am about to replace the battery this week, the one I've got is about to die and I need to replace it ASAP.

Mine is 55B24L and it looks too small!! too much room for a bigger one.


What about you guys ? does the US.Spec and J.Spec use the same battery in design ?

What's the right number which is on top of the battery ?

Hi there,

I had the same problem when i bought my car. The small battery has diffrent size lugs on it, so you will have to chage the terminals on the car, if you fit a uk spec battery. The jacket will also be too small, and the tie down clamp will also need to modified or changed for a uk one.

All this said you can buy jap spec batteries from internet sites but very expensive.

i fitted a uk toyota battery not too expensive. a few quid for a jacket, lug, and i had to make up a new ground lead.

Aaah ok!

I guess I'll have to go look up for the right tools :gallery:

Dig up old thread time!!! :rolleyes:

So seriously, what are all the options for replacing a JSpec Battery as mine is about to die I think!

Just get a UK plus parts from Toyota and pee about with the wiring or is there anything that will fit straight in?

when I was looking they had some thing on this web site,

you'll have to look at it a bit, but there is a direct replacement. all you need to do is find a shop that sells them!

But the UK battery is bigger and better, and if it goes again, you can just nip down to halfords and slap any old battery in.

Like I said before I don't live in the UK :mad:
