Battery question

Post by Tommywasash »

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could help please?my daughter drives a 96 corsa merit 1.2 and recently 'most' mornings her battery has been flat due to the cold weather!!!I have a 'delphi freedom plus' 12v 60ah battery fully charged in my garage and was wondering if it fit the tray,connections reach/fit and the bonnet closes!!can I safely use this battery in her car to save her the money of buying a new one?

Thanks for the help

Does it crank at atleast 360amps? If so, it should be fine :)

12v is say the hp of the battery and the 60ah is the torque of the battery thats the easiest way to say it :lol:
