i need a battery for my 94 xj12 and i dont know what battery goes in the car it dose nt have the right one in it right now if any one knows the part number that would help thanks

 

I believe I do use 12 V 72 AMP on my Jag (or 12V 70 AMP) , anything less than 12V 66 Amp is a poor one .I don't know part number ,I do use Varta .

 

In my 1995 I have an interstate megaton plus. It has 850 CCA. I believe interstate is what came originally but not positive. You can use what brand is your preference just make sure the power ratings are sufficient. I think the 94 and 95 charging systems are basically the same. Could be wrong though Also mabye do a search to see what others have had success with regarding brand and fit. Don't know if this helps but good luck

 

dose any one think 590 cca is enough power cause when i search 94 xj12 thats what it tells me to get

 

I don't know much about batteries but from what I can gather, the more CCA, the better. I lifted this info from a battery site which may be helpful. My guess is that at a minimum you will need something like a DIN66.



CCA is critical for good cranking ability. It's the number of amps a battery can support for 30 seconds at a temperature of 0 degrees F until the battery voltage drops to unusable levels. A 12V battery with a rating of 600 CCA means the battery will provide 600 amps for 30 seconds at 0 degrees before the voltage falls to 7.20 V (six cells).



RC helps to power your vehicle's electrical system if the alternator fails. It indicates the battery's "staying power" -- how many minutes the battery can supply ample power without falling below the minimum voltage needed to run your vehicle.



In general for both CCA and RC, the higher the number the better. HOWEVER, if you live in a cold climate, the CCA rating should be an important consideration in choosing a battery. Conversely, if you live in a high heat climate, you don't need as much CCA.

 

it says i need a outside vented battery because the trunk is a sealed area .but i want to get an optiuma battery there not outside vented battery's but they are spill proof ????

 

The trunk is not a sealed area, just search for all the threads with 'Water in the Trunk', how did it get there?

Re the battery, I always go for the highest amph that will fit that I can afford.

Nowadays we have sealed batt's so venting and worse leaking acid all over the place should be history.

For info only, in my comp Landrover, I had two massive tractor batt's bungie strapped down behind the drivers seat. Both of the old type, unscrew tops and top up. Never once did I have a leak, whilst the wheels were still pointing towards the ground.

Just saying.

 

Get an Optimax battery. They are gel cells, so there is no need to worry about them being vented. While they are expensive, it will probably be the last battery you put in the car.
