My Nova TD came to me without a battery, have been using a petrol battery to move it about the house since I got it, but it just doesn't have enough kick.
Anyone know what size of battery should be in a TD?


Cheers

Probably is physically no bigger than standard, just the dervs need an extra bit of kick to get them turned over!!

As a general rule though, higher CCA/Ah means a bigger battery. The one I used to use RC racing, with something like 80-100Ah was a monster, weighed around 20-25 kilo lol

meh... use jump leads and a second car to start the diesel and forget about the battery save's you around 20-25kilo means better mpg lol lol
