Battery Help

[peteh1969]

I need to find an 037 type battery for the Corsair it need to be a max width of 133mm 5", MAX length 330mm 1' and MAX height 220mm 10" I want the highest AH possible and the highest CCA possible.

I have done a search and the only thing that comes close is from Euro Carparts and I'm not sure.

I'm not not bothered about it looking stock, I just want a battery that's not going give up after few cranks of the engine.

What do others recommend?

I know some of you work in the vehicle charging industry I need some advice please?

Try tayna.co.uk - you can search by dimension on there.

If it comes up with one with Japanese posts, adaptors are only a few quid.

I have tried Tayna and there 037 is to wide at 135mm and there other types for classic cars that are a good width are not available.

Thanks though Phil

You may well find that the dimensions are just being rounded up to the nearest 5mm

Think outside the box - find one that fits your dimensions rather than search for an 037.

Linky
Any here fit the bill?
An 048 or 049? Both should have enough CCA and Ah for you.

[Phil H]

Height listed as 220mm as specified - or am I missing something?

Also says MAX height of 220mm 10” - 10” is still 254mm last time checked?

They are good batteries but they have no mounting for the car on the bottom of the batteries and there is no other way of fixing the battery to the car and I'm not putting hole in the car to mount any brackets.

[Phil H]

Ok - I’m missing something here with mountings on the bottom of the battery.

Not a Ford man so it might be obvious to Ford owners..

Think you might be a little over cautious there Pete, remember their dimension will be the widest part ie the top which is not necessarily the same as the bottom. Both mine have different make 037 batteries, neither are tight in the trays.

Pete - Try Lincoln - I normally find something in their range and they specialise for the classic car industry

Shield batteries do an 037 , ive got them in both Imps and they seem fine but are 35ah , Lucas used to do an uprated 037 called an 037/4 but thats gone , Lion are the highest at 40ah , most are 35 or 36ah .

Ok thanks for the advice I'm begging to to think the Lion battery is the way to go as most of the others are of a lower ah and the prices are very steep compared to the Lion.
