battery confusion, help
« on: 06 December 2005, 22:52 »
Hi, please bear with me on this one.

I have got a new battery to go on my Mk2 Golf Gti 8v (1985)

It is as follows:- Exide W065SE.  50A/Hr    495 CCA

The exide website also shows (for the same car) a W065TE which is 55A/Hr    600 CCA

I have just looked at the one in my car and its spec is 55A/Hr     480 CCA

Will the new battery (Exide W065SE.  50A/Hr    495 CCA) be good enough, and strong enough?

I dont even know what one should be in there (don't have a manual or nout).

CCA means Cold Cranking Amps. The higher the rating the stronger the battery you could say. Should be fine with y new one if not a little better.
