Title: Battery?
Post by rich1 on Nov 10^th, 2016, 12:08pm

Can i put a 12v 74ah 750a(en) battery into my mondeo ? I currently have a 520(en)
The 720 i have in my saab is brand spanking new from the rac that has a five year guarantee , so dont really want to scrap it with the saab
Cheers
Rich
P.S , bet youve all missed me on here with the stupid question ;D

Rich. Seems to me that provided it will fit in the available space there is no issue whatever. It is just a larger capacity battery. :)

If it fits in the tray and the terminals are in the same positions and the same style as the old battery then I don't see a problem.
Larger capacity battery should help with cold morning starts.
