725ah !?!?!? Thought you had a D3, not a forklift :D

725 CCA is not that much - worth measuring the "hole" in the vehicle, and then fit the largest one you can...

watch out for the difference between CCA measured under "DIN", and measured under "SAE", or "EN"....

Only got good experience of Varta's "Varta own name" batteries.... BUT.. Had a Varta "GM" branded battery burst on my D1, and its has made a mess from hell......:(:mad::eek:

been looking at the exide ea1000

100 ah
900 cca

old one is 725 cca sae

don't know what the difference is with the sae din etc plse
 
Brand: Exide
Range: Premium
Part Number: 017TE
Alternative Refrence: EA1000
Voltage : 12v
Ampere-Hour Capacity at 20hr rate Ah: 100Ah
Cold Cranking Performance (Amps) SAE/EN1: 900
Dimensions LxWxH: 353mm x 175mm x 190mm
Terminal Layout: Negetive (-) on left, Positive (+) on right; with the terminals on the edge of the battery closest to you
Terminal: Standard Round DIN post
 
SAE & EN are, AFAIK, essentially the same ... and this is the figure we are "used to" in this country... Its the one I prefer, and its the one your original battery is rated under - so I'd stick with that.

900 CCA is an improvement - and 100 Ah is nice too.

Anything on the Tayna website ??

Check on the Tayna site to see if there's an equivalent from one or more of the other manufacturers, suck as Powerline.
Exide can be considered as a "premium price supplier", you could get exactly the same for quite a few less £££££.

cheers

i have in the past gone for a cheaper branded battery and this is my own personal experience they haven't lasted as long as ones a little bit more expensive

am pleased it's not an AGM battery, lol

the exide is coming out around £85 delivered , 4 x year warranty

me being a sad old git , do like to sit down and read through different specs and not impulse buy

100 Ah is to all intents and purposes able to supply 100 Amps for 1 hour, or 1 amp for 100 hours. Re-written as 1000mA for 100hours, multiplying out, that's the same as 25mA for 4000 hours, disregarding other factors such as "self-discharge" and "chemical recovery".
I don't think you need to worry about those discharge figures for about five and a half months!:D
The Powerline battery has a 4 year warranty too.
