OEM battery specs

[TimR]

Im after replacing the battery in my 4200 which I know to be too small...( @ 60Ah)
Ive been told 70Ah by McGrath but I am also aware that Yuasa recommend an 80Ah unit having asked at Bedford Batteries. Eurospares offer up a 74Ah item, and in discussion with another owner, 77Ah is in use..
The reason I ask is as it seems likely an over spec'd unit could give rise to as many problems as I suspect the 60Ah unit is possibly responsible for at present...!
What's the handbook/oracle truth about battery spec for my 2005 4200 , or should I not not be too concerned about it ?

Grtzzz....

Overspec cannot cause issues that I can see.

I'd think certainly in these capacities, bigger is better

Ok...thanks for that !
Bigger is better until comes time to cram the thing into the boot space, Id guess...?

Well as long as it's physically the same size yes. But that didn't seem to be what you were concerned about
