battery size [Merged 5-7] small lawn tractor smaller

[chris_jul]

Ok, I’ve seen the question about what brand of battery to use. I was just wondering what size battery. Can we change battery sizes. I was looking on several sites which have optima batteries but they don’t have the
right size for my 98 eclipse AWD. Can some one help me this. I’m new to this.

I have no A/C, two speakers, only one power window (the other is manual), no sunroof, no pwer to the seatbelts.

I'd like to not replace it every year, however. Anyone else had to replace them this frequently? I was talking with a tercel owner at the track and he's being using the same lawnmower battery for over 2 years.

Is all this really worth the ten pounds?

It's actually around 30lbs. The battery im looking at says its 10.5, compared to 40+.

I buy some cheap everstart lawnmower batteries. I'm getting about a year - year and a half out of them

I am running the JM FABB small battery kit in my 2g. It come with a new batttery box that lowers the battery in the carand out of the way. the battery is small to. I have not had any problems out of the small battery, I do start my car everyday and pull it in and out of the shop, so its only running for like 3 mins a day

How much do they cost? Just pick em up at sears or something?

 

[me612]

I pick them up at either Walmart or Fleet Farm. Usually 20 bucks.

Wow, that's a cool setup. Do you ever start it in 20-30 degree F temps?

 

[me612]

Sure does. I live in Minnesota. The car doesn't get driven in the winter, but I do start it on occasion during the winter. It'll be below zero out, but maybe like 30 in the garage. It starts right up. I believe it has about 300 CCA

So I can use this? I'm not using a big system, just need a cheap small battery.
