well guys
i'm going to replace my battery as it's almost fucked

anyone knows which battery should i use?

it's a 95 gpx

thanks

a good one ive got a blue top in mine. but all depends on what your running in your car and how much you want to spend

A good battery should last you 5 years + (and some even have warranties for that long) so you shouldn't be too dubious of throwing a little money into it.

Get a high performance one - I got a http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online ... 49#details shortly after I got my car back in 08. $159ish - hasn't skipped a beat (except for the time i left my interior light on for 3 days - and even having said that - my interior light was still working, just got enuf juice to kick her over). Think mine had a 3yr warrenty.

i have a massive marine battery in mine 500CCA, and the good thing if the alternator stuffs up i can drive for an hour and a half hahaha.

yeah Optimia Blue Top(boat battery), its just like the yellow top just with 2 extra terminals , was on sale for $400 at batteryworld

yep i got mine cheaper then that , ive built up a collection of batterys now , i have about 3 in my car port , 1 i bought to pass rego cause i had the blue top in boot and wasnt mounted to metal work , mind u 10 mins later the blue top was back in the boot , and 1 was from the fto and one was from old car prob all ran dead now ,

sorry guys, i haven't mention that i just arrived in au and planned to stay here for less than 2 years
so, i'm looking for a cheap battery
just something good enough to last for 2 years is fine for me

According to the guide it uses a NS60 battery. I use one in mine and it works fine

u mean a Century NS60??

i found that there are 2 types of NS60
NS60LS
NS60S

which one should i use? or each of them is just fine?

They should be both fine,
I'll check tomorrow what exact one I use but it might just be the 60S

It would come down to the leads and what conectors (size) are on them.
One battery would have thick stems and the other thin.

That also, I had to buy new terminals for my battery

$100 battery should get you threw , unless your running a big set up , if you go to the shop and find one that has a 2 year warranty , as stated above check that your terminals will fit

got this in my ride. for almost 2years and never have any problem. $50 at repco during manager's special. what a bargain!

Is this one ok???

ild have to say no cause think bout mounting you need to be able to fit that bracket over it , where as the pic above the centre caps sit flush . i had to get longer rods and bend my bracket a bit to fit my blue top but that least has a flat top


ask if you can test fit it befor you buy it just incase cause the bracket might fit between might not ( other tip is take the top bracket with you and put it on top of the battery
