Carl Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I had one of these weeny Japanese batteries on my Supra. After many giggles from fellow members at meets I felt it was time to replace my Inadequacies with one more substantial in girth. So I bought the positive terminal from Toyota & a new wider bracket and popped up to my local battery supplier for fitment. 20 minutes later, I have a nice large UK spec size battery. Size really does matter..... Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 A few giggles from other member? Hmmmm did the battery work fine? if it did why do you need a big battery just because of a few giggles? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Doesn't the UK battery just weigh more??? I've got a 60Ah for everyday and a teeny weeny racing battery to slip in when I want to lose weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 lol, too be honest it was starting to show signs of deterioration, not turning the engine over as quickly as it should. On testing it was looking a little low and may have failed during the winter months to come. Felt it best to sort it now before it fails. I have a couple of amps etc in the boot as well so the extra amperage will help.... Oh, adn did I mention, the old one looked tiny....lol Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
