[omri617 18]

Hi

Need to buy a battery for my car , and the sticker on the current battery is gone so i can't read

What's on it.

Which amperage (or other specs) i need to look for?

Thanks

Any 063 will do, or an 065 is slightly bigger and will fit.

440 amps??? isn't this supposed to be 45-60 normally for a small car?

As said, an 063 type battery is correct, which is typically around 45Ah.

 

An 065 is a little larger length wise but still fits (although sometimes tight if you're running an induction kit) and is higher capacity - typically around 55Ah.

 

Most of the batteries have a cold cranking amps (CCA) of around 400-500 amps.

I have an 075 iirc, diesel 405/306 spec, bit ott but it was to hand and does the job just fine.

075 is the same dimensions as a 065, just higher rated and usually more expensive

 

Taken from the Yuasa Online Catalogue here's the sizes, weights, and capacities:

 

063 = 207x175x175, 12.1kg, 45Ah and 380CCA

065 = 243x175x175, 14.3kg, 54Ah and 470CCA

075 = 243x175x175, 15.5kg, 60Ah and 550CCA
