Car Battery (r33)

What batteries do you guys use to support all your big sound systems in the R33's?

The bracket where it sits seems a pain when looking for a powerfull upgrade which is usually too long and doesnt fit....

thanks

When my battery died last year I got the NRMA to deliver and install one because I wanted to use the car that evening! I got the biggest f*ck-off one that he had He had to replace the tray it sits on, the clamp that goes over the top, and also the terminals because the posts were bigger. I should have got a bigger earth wire too, for future expansion of power usage. I don't know what the CCA is but it's never run flat and never even hinted at struggling with anything. It cost about $180 fitted I think, including all the extra bits. I think the standard size one was about $120, but I figured that if you're going to spend $120, you may as well spend $180 and get something much better.

I usually get the biggest CCA battery I can - 600 + is always a benefit. From experience the NRMA batteries are quite good, and the bonus is they come to you.. so getting it done at an inconvienient time (in my case @ 3am on a Sunday morning) is handy

In previous days (when I had the big systems in my cars) i've used odyssey batteries (the same one lasted close to 9 years - the commodore killed it when the alternator wiring harness burnt out - although took close to 500kms of daily driving to do it - didn't notice the little light on the dashboard ). Try batteryworld (http://www.batteryworld.com.au/v1/ProductEnquiry/car.htm) or aero parts (http://www.aeroparts.com.au/odyssey.htm) as a place to start for pricing. Know a guy who has a bank of them in his Delica - works a treat with all the 4WD kit he's got.

Yeah, throw in as big a battery as you can. The odyssey batteries can be good for stereo's but they have been plagued in the past by faults, and drain quickly if you have a alarm and leave the car for more than a few days without starting.

I don't think I have ever heard of anyone complain about Optima batteries, extremely reliable and won't drain if you don't start the car for a few days (great reserve capacity RC). Otherwise, just grab a normal car battery with largest CCA rating u can to fit.
