Bob Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Bought this a while ago to help with my ICE (in the event that I actually get round to installing it!). Came to start the car today and nothing Car has been used for a 2-hour journey this week so thought it should be okay. Checked the voltage across the terminals - 4.5V! Connected the battery up to the charger and the fuse in the charger (20A) blew instantly. Also connected it up to another charger with 2 7.5A fuses - both of them blew instantly too. So I guess the battery is well and truly fubar'd. Can anyone tell me what kinda battery I need for the supe (i.e. amps, size, etc.)? Will probably get one of the Halfrauds ones for the time being, it's just a pain in the arse that the car drains the battery so quickly (two weeks standing will generally kill a full battery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
