What's the best/biggest battery...?

[shabz]

What's the best and most reasonably priced battery you can fit in a mk2 rev3 mr2 turbo?

I'm gunna be installing an amp/components/sub setup at some point soon so it will need to have enough juice for that (nothing crazy- probs around 300wrms in total)

optima batteries were the batteries of choice for big audio installs... (well last time i did anything with car audio, anyway)

which model/size optima will fit?

i think the standard battery is a 005L 60Ah...can you fit a bigger one than that?

[cvega666]

i dont have a ruler handy but someone surely can sort you out with dimensions of the battery box...

You don't want to fit a (much) bigger battery for that stuff as you'll just overload your alternator trying to charge it, unless you intend on running your ICE with the engine switched off? In which case a split charging relay and a separate leisure battery would be the way to go (not a car battery).

based on everyone's suggestions i think a stock battery will do the trick

any recommendations on which brand/where to buy?

If you have access to a halfords trade card then just get one from there, you get big discounts on batteries. Bought a halfords brand one the other week that should have been £84 and the discounted price was £52.

I would recommend the optima yellow top which is what I have in mine and The Big 3 which is putting bigger cable (0gauge preferably) from the alternator to the battery (leaving the original wiring as well) from the engine to earth and from the battery to the body.

I bought one from performancebatteries.co.uk last year
£55 and (really,if you order early...)next day delivery
Say your friend gave you a 5% discount card as well

Get the car battery from a Toyota Dealer.
Better price and Warranty than Halfords etc, and you know it will fit!

Varta are top quality batteries that are fitted to many new high end cars. They have a 3 yr warranty but they really are good batteries
