What battery?

[NigelC95]

My brother has a Mk1 Fabia, 2002, 1.4 Auto, estate.  Battery needs replacing, but we're struggling to identify the correct one.

Euro  and Halfords list an 063 40Ah  This seems a little low, its less that that fitted to my 1.2 Panda.

Tayna list an 027 60Ah

 

Currently fitted is an RAC001 52Ah, so half-way between.

 

Does anyone have details of the correct original fitment, and does the Auto need a greater capacity?

 

Thanks

065 ???

Battery doesn't really matter on a petrol and auto makes no difference so why spend more than you have to, as long as it physically fits in the box then it'll be just fine.

063 is 175 mm high.

027 is 190 mm high.

How high is the present battery?

 

If a bigger one will fit then buy that one.
