I only replaced it a couple of years ago but it has a 74ah 680a battery. It was the same as what I took out.
Whilst on the subject of CCA and batteries I spend £140 on one of those Noco jump packs....utter ****, it’s going back.
Did some research on YouTube and they tended to agree.
Given that most of us don’t drive the cars daily, that the UK climate is cold and wet, that these are Italian cars sensitive to low voltage and it would seem to me that the extra cost of a high quality, higher amperage battery is a no brainer. It’s going to last a good few years hopefully so just spend the extra ££ and get close to the best you can get. Replacing a low quality battery more often AND having to put up with the potential trouble can’t be worth it in terms of effort and cost.
And then there are AGM batteries as well….which are the way to go if you don’t use your car that much - together with a trickle chargerAh, but some batteries have high cold cranking amps and some high capacity. It’s a minefield!
