the one with the most CCA, that will fit in the hole?

I don't know. Of all the batteries I've had, they all seemed to give out at different times, not in line with any quality / price. Obviously things like Gel and other fancy batteries might last longer. Kmart, get the terminals the right way round and the most CCA, and bobs your whatever.

Just get it done cause it will die at the worst time possible :rolleyes:

hey guys just wondering if anyone has an idea on the best battery to get for an M355 stagea. mine keeps going flat! i think its out of juice!

ATM I am using two Gel Baqtteries because it suits my FMIC piping. But yes CCA is the criteria. 500 + is what you need

You will need to change the terminals over if you get common style of battery. The M35 has small terminals which make it hard to source for. I think I got a 550 or 600cca in there.

thanks guys, needed to get the car running because my airbag light keeps flashing, my mate reckons that it has something to do with battery being drained?

so i just went so supercheap auto. grabbed a century one that looked like it would fit. all good so far. a

stupid airbag light

Nah, Independant Battery Distributors in Frankston stock a number of maintenance free batteries that bit perfectly... with 2 year guarantee :)

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but does anyone who has replaced their battery have the size code? There's usually a letter and a couple of numbers on top of the battery but since mine is a Jap battery there's just random Japanese letters.

Just make it easier to order a replacement without hunting quite so much or changing terminals like Scott suggests.

Is 350Z the same?

Don't you just take it into Batteries-R-US & they pull out the correct size? That's what I did, but I'll get a code off mine in the morning if no one's replied before then.

I don't. Dad has a trade account with Independent Batteries, so I usually get him to order them for me.

If you've got a code that'd be great. Did you use the same terminals?

OK, not sure if this code will help but mine is a Supercharge battery, part # MF55B24L (CCA 430). I used the same leads but I remember now the earth lead was a fraction too big to clamp tightly with these stupid type that Nissan (all manufacturers?) use these days. I probably should have changed it but I wrapped a few turns of copper wire around the battery terminal instead lol.

I used a 530CCA European style battery, I had to modify the terminals so that the stock terminal clamps would fit (a piss easy job). It barely fitted in the hole, but looks stock now that it's in there

Just had a look at mine.

Platinum Power 2000 from Independent Battery Distributors.

Part #NS40LMF

380 CCA

RC60

Not a big battery, but have not had any issues for the past year or so... and it plugged straight in to the standard connectors.

Right here is some digging:

Over in NZ they have a listing for an NS40L which is a 330CCA (if you get a beefy one it's about 380CCA).  I think this is the standard size.

Dimensions for this are: L = 187, W = 127, H = 220.  Terminals are 10mm (diameter??) and on the correct side.

The recommendation to upgrade in CCA size is the following:

NS60L (Exide part number X60CPMF, or 60CPMF, Century NS60LSX MF, or NS60LS MF)

This is a 450 or 480CCA battery with dimensions being: L = 237, W = 128, H = 222.  Terminals are the same as above

Interestingly, this is the same battery as a Nissan Tiida 2000-2006.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
