Spitandpolish Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Hi All Whats the best make and type of battery for a GTE, and do any of you use a battery conditioner for longer periods when not in use? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapierdave Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Battery type 065 is recommended for a Manta 2.0 litre. Although i have seen 075 type fitted. The 075 has a higher ampere hour rating. If a battery is not used for long periods then any battery will deteriorate even an expensive one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal001 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Got a 075 fitted to my GTE. Fits fine but as mentioned has higher cca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 They should park up and be useable within 3 weeks easily if no problems but an alarm fitted can drain battery over a shorter period.any longer either disconnect battery or remove fuse 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumster Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The battery chap told me when I got a new one back end of last year to top up charge every 6 weeks or so if not in use. MIne is stored over winter so at the end of the month I will park & up & remove the battery, and top up every 6 weeks or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
