minime331 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) like the tittle says I need a new battery I'm looking for a good one that's not so crazy $$$ I've read on NAM that the optima red top 34r will work, is this true? or is there a better battery.

Edge Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 like the tittle says I need a new battery im looking for a good one that's not so crazy $$$ I've read on NAM that the optima red top 35r will work, is this true? or is there a better batteryI'm pretty sure you mean the 34R. I'll have to check my paperwork tonight to be sure... but yes, I have an Optima Red Top in my R53. There's only one catch - it's a shorter battery than the factory one, so you'll need to put something underneath it to raise it up higher to reach the battery wires. Something solid, like wood.

minime331 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 i got the optima 34r and it fit without a problem the terminals are a little tall so i might make a guard around the battery to take the weight off the terminals STella- 14' Focus ST Roush CAI, Cobb access port stage1 tune, custom Ptuning 3" exhuast, Levels FMIC, Turbosmart BOV, rally armor mud flaps, more to come.

1975_mini Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 quick question, had a friend write me about changing to battery in his mini, and he was told the dealer has to reset the computer or it can burn up the altinator? I have not had to replace a battery in brandy's mini yet. Has anyone heard of the before? thanks 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
