ArmyLupo Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Okay, my battery is dead. I need a new one obviously. I live in Germany and I've heard the best brands are Varta or Banner Starting Bull. I have found a Varta for a good price, it's a 12v 52ah 470a. Does that output work with a 1.4 16v 75ps? I also have electric windows and AC. Also, it's 207x175x190. The old battery was 175mm high and this one is 190...would it fit?Thanks again.

ArmyLupo Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Oh, and the Banner Starting Bull I could also get is 12v 44ah 360a, and I know it fits. But is it powerful enough? Problem is I already bought it, but brought it back because on the passenger side the electric windows and locks didn't work. Should I go buy it back or get the Varta?

HDH Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Should have a 3 digit code on it , car batteries are pretty universal. Looking on eurocarparts , think yours should be a 027 (?). And they all seem to be 190mm high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyLupo Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Mine was 175mm high. I assume you measure with the handle folded down? What should have a 3 digit code on it? Does anyone have a batterie with a 190mm (19cm) height? So I know if it fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDH Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) " What should have a 3 digit code on it?"The battery itself.http://www.eurocarparts.com/car-batteriesLooking at more batteries your original might be a 065 ?

ArmyLupo Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 That link doesnt work for me...Sorry, but i think you can put in almost any battery as long as it has also 12v and similar other specs, or am i wrong? My main concern was just if a 190mm high battery would fit since my old one was 175mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDH Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Might be blocking you because you're outside the UK?My 1.0e has a 063 and looking at eurocarparts all the 063s from different manufacturers are all 190mm. All the 065s are 175mm so that must be the one you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyLupo Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Do I actually need an 065 though or could I use something else? If I use something else would it cause problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
