New battery for ZX

Featured Replies

I'm buying a new battery for my 280zx, and wondering if there is one that is more "OEM" or original than another, or does it matter? thanks for any thoughts on this.

Unless you are strictly going for originality, it doesn't really matter as long as you get the correct size.

okachuck....you're serious? You joined this forum to ask that question? heh.

Just thought I'd ask, you never know what you'll learn. I have read the forum and usually find an answer searching and reading. I'm replacing the alternator and need a new bat sooo.. thought I'd check.

Thanks Stephen

buy the same size and suffecient currnet standard.. 50A is ok i guess.. and polarity of the battery terminals, sometimes they are in opposite sides!

I use AC delco, u wont bother with the refilling :smoke:

I run a red top Optima and it fit in very well. I still use the original frame to hold it in place. Best part is NO batttery acid to eat paint or metal. You could mount it upside down or sideways if you wish. The down side is roughly three times the cost of a regular wet cell.
