Hi guys,

Im finally going to give in to buying a new battery for my R19 1.8 RT.
The original renault battery has resigned from duty after ten years of dedicated service to this R19 Laughing

Anyways, my questions is this:
My battery is labelled 250A 12V, how many Ah is it then?
I've seen that the generator for my car is 75-80 Ah, is that the Amper hours my battery has to be or is it converted from the 250A number?
Sorry, im very stupid about this matter Embarassed

that maters not really, get the biggest battery you can in there.

But tbh 250A sounds small, I have a 300A that was used in the 1.4 as standard.

In the 16V I have a 600A

The one in my 1.4e is only marked 200A
Note, both are Renault originals Rolling Eyes

Would a 47Ah battery do for my 1.8?
