correct battery fitment?
hi everyone, just looking to find what is the correct/preferred battery size for the svx, my car at the moment is on sorn but i'm looking to reuse it prior to its resale/disposal in the coming few months.
i disposed of the last battery earlier but forgot to make a note of its type/size |

Re: correct battery fitment?
I just recently fitted a new battery, it was a Yuasa "096" It fills the space fully, and has a 2 year warranty

Re: correct battery fitment?
Depends if you have a Japanese or UK car.
The Jap ones have the horns mounted in front of the battery and the UK-size battery won't fit. The Jap-size battery doesn't seem to be available here. I found one in Halfords, same width and length as the Jap one, but not as tall, so I put a half inch block of wood on top to hold it in place. The other alternative is to move the horns.

Re: correct battery fitment?
Interesting piece of info here. I wondered how UK cars had room for the horns? The headlamps are longer so the horns have to move backward. If you have a US battery there is no room to move them back. The smaller battery would account for this room. I had to move mine to the frame rail which is not an easy task as the AC lines leave little room for the horns to vibrate. Makes an awful sound
