What battery size does the disco V TD6 take? Min cranking amps and reserve? Is there room to go bigger? I’ve always been a fan of bigger batteries. Does it matter if it’s AGM or just sealed? I like to use the Walmart platinum batteries.

Thanks. This exide battery (if that’s the stock) is trash and I’ll never buy one of theirs.

 

on another note how crammed is it in there? Any opportunity to go larger?

 

Very little. Going longer is possible but you have to change the hold down. I don’t think deeper is possible, and taller wouldn’t be by much.

 

Engine battery replacement

My 2017 Si6 was in need of a new battery.

ACDelco 49AGM Professional
AGM Automotive BCI Group 49
Battery ($199.) There seems to be no other choices in the US.

It was a simple installation and works fine.

Order from Amazon and shipping is included with Prime membership.

Good battery, even cheaper on Rock auto https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/ac...M,battery,2476
I just prefer Interstate.

 

Interstate has recently (last year or two) expanded their sourcing from just Johnson Controls to now Exide as well.

I believe the AGM's are still Johnson Co. made.
