zedls1 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hi All, can any one recommend new battery 12v, mine has just died, lack of driving the Z and battery terminals still connected to battery, battery is 8 years old, its was 600 CCA, RC110. I tried charging it for around 15 hrs and nothing. Are there newer technology types? thank you all in advance. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat2kman Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 It's sulphated up, and a cell has shorted, most likely. Have a look at the Full River brand batteries based in Sydney, they are a sealed unit, so they can be posted. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zedls1 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Thanks for the recommendations dat2kman and gav240z. I purchased a sealed 12v 650 CCA with RC107 from a little local battery supplier/manufacturer in Clifton Hill. They've been around for nearly 70 years, very knowledgeable, old school guy's, they also do the rubber type batteries for vintage vehicles if any one is interested or looking. I'll hook the battery up tonight and take the Z out for a spin, cant believe i last drove it over the Xmas break. regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
