S4 Battery

PostPost by: 106500 » Mon Apr 01, 2013 7:14 pm

Its that time - I need to replace my car battery on my Elan S4 (previous one lasted 10 years (not bad!). I'm struggling to find the right size, I quite like Bosche but am not sure which size suits. I'd appreciate some recommendations please?

Look for a battery that will fit a Miata. Thats what i ended up doing. It works fine, teminals are on the correct side.

A NAPA 7545 fits perfectly. Do you have NAPA stores near you?

I got rid of the heavy acid filled lump and used a motorcycle battery - 340 CCA and 20 AH is more than enough when using a Jap starter. It weighs about 12 pounds and is sealed.
