Tony B Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 What ampage (is that the correct word) would people recommed for an OY? OY won't it work this time? :cool2: The best answer is the most pwerful battery you can fit in the space. Minimum would be 60 amp look for a crancking power of about 550. Batteries seem to have dropped in price at the moment. Though many will scream blue murder a 'Recreational ' type battery will hold charge better over long periods. I've had no problems using one on my Dodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The best answer is the most pwerful battery you can fit in the space How's that work then, what if the charging system isn't up to it :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Most generators, will charge up to 25 amp. A battery is a storage vessel, if the tap is on slow it may take a long time to fill, but you will have it there. The more powerful the battery the more umph it gives to start the vehicle, so actually works less. Should the vehicle decide to be difficult, then you have more reserve to crank over.

For once Tony, I agree with you :-D. I have always used a 644 tractor battery on my QL, think it is 90 amp/hour. No problem charging, has plenty of reserve, as Bedfords do not have fuel pump primers, it is sometimes neccessary to crank them over a bit to get the petrol up if it has been standing.

Strangely enough so do I, same type on the GMC, and you are right on the capacity Richard, varies slightly with different manufacturers between 90 and 96 amp/hr.Type 643 is similar but with opposite post layout.

I used to use New Holland batts a lot, as Haynes are nearby, but the last I had from them was a Case IH, ( changed dealership) probably the same with different label :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
