44GPW Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hi chaps, I need to replace the battery in my MW. I've been looking at Heavy Duty models all of which seem to vary is spec. Any recommendations please? Also what "ah" rating is best to go for? The higher rating the better i assume? Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brooky Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I would go for the biggest capacity both in amp hours and cranking amps that will fit in the battery box!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 44GPW Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just read another thread where Richard Farrent recommends the 644 Tractor Battery for an OY. Does anyone know if that will fit the the battery box of an MW? Battery size is 345mmL x 172mmW x 238mmH. Price is £60 so very reasonable.

Thanks Richard Richard, I have fitted the 644 to a MW and QL before, plenty of cranking power. £60 is a good price. If the terminals are wrong way around for your wiring, I think the 643 has them the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it not just be the case of rotating the battery 180 degrees to get the terminals in the correct position or am i missing something?

0 44GPW Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Oh i see now...the terminals are mounted offset, so i need to know the position of my + and - wiring or the leads may not reach the terminals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 44GPW Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Installed a new 644 battery last night, £69 delivered (next day) from Tayna Ltd. My MW seemed to start without turning over...lol. Much better! Thanks all Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
