Post Re: Battery Cables, + fuel pipe question all in one go
im seeing my mate in an hour, and he said if it dont fit then he should have it back of me,

my battery just didnt have any punch when starting it, it was totally gutless in the cold, whereas this one in the cold is brilliant,
i managed to move the car into the garage (to fix my fuel pump no fuel issue as it started snowing) on the starter and got wheel spin from it! (needs must..)

That's the difference between a shagged battery and a good battery, not between a standard 2cv-size battery and a 2cv-sized battery.

If you want a bit more cranking power from your battery, then replace what I assume is a standard 360ah, for a 440ah battery.

Again, though, it won't provide "more cranking power" - because a healthy 360CCA battery will feed a 2cv starter quite happily.

What it will do is feed it for about 20% longer.

I think we can allow some leeway on mass to go with that on capacity...
