flat battery replacement

[JD]

i think my battery is flat, it has been going for quite a while and never got round to getting a new one as i dont drive alot at uni, but it needs doing now.

how easy is it to remove and has anyone got a step by step guide because i had a quick look and am not sure!

also, i have an amp and new speakers, and an in car phone and headset charger so i am wanting a slightly better battery to deal with this draw of power, any suggestions?

cheers jamie

8mm spanner and a 13mm socket on an extension

easy peasy

Needs to be able to handle my amp, sat nav etc!

Cheers

any ideas on a good battery btw?

not hard at all mate, as fred said 8mm spanner and a 13mm socket on an extension, the case also has a few bolts to hold the battery in place, thats what you need the extension for, loosen the battery case and lift off

on the right hand side of the battery if you look down you'll see the clamp and 13mm bolt holding it in

just lifts out

i'll get you the spec off my battery, give me 10min
