What is the best battery
04.05.15 at 19:43:55
 
Hello

It is time for me to replace my battery. I know there have been many threads on battery replacement but in German!. The google translator helps but it is difficult for me to search for anything unless I know the German technical names. I know. I should learn German!!
But in the meantime can someone suggest a good replacement. If I can go smaller and lighter that would be good.
I know there there are some small incredibly light batteries than only work for one start but from your experience what is the preferred best battery?
Thank you for your help with this. (I really should learn German)  Smiley

Kevin

Currently running an unbranded 14AH AGM battery (because the stock battery died over the course of Winter) and it's definitely up to the job. I've also tried using a 10AH AGM battery and even that one was powerful enough, not sure how many attempts you'd get out of it though.

Cheers,
Greg

Hallo Kevin,
Hawker Odysse PC545 with 14AH is often used. http://www.roadster-concept.de/hawker-gelbatterien.html

Since 1998 I have replaced the old battery with the Hawker and have no problems over 100.000 km! Even after the winter break of five months the Hawker has full power to start the motor! I´m very satisfied with it.
Cheers Hartmut

Hallo Hartmut,
ist das immer noch die gleiche Hawker seit 1998 oder hast Du die schon mal ausgetauscht?

Hallo Hartmut,
is it the same Hawker since 1998, or have you changed it?

There is nothing more to say. Does anyone also want to know which tyre or which engine oil is the best? Wink

Kevin, this Hawker maybe a good choice, but you´ve been  asking for something smaller with less weight, so the new Lifepo4 accumulators may be concidered. My five cent: they are not availabele for small money ,  but i´ve got one with a 7,5 AH this spring, and it works fine and the weight is :900 Gramms, it´s small, and it has power. If it´s true what the sellers say, there should be no need to replace it for many years, and its plug and play as long as your rectifier don´t produce more than  14,5 Volts, the TR1 produces maximum 14,4 V under best circumstances, everything over will kill a Hawker same as an old Pb Battery ,
Regards Ali
