Battery upgrade ?

**Quicksilver** · Tuesday 30th October 2012, 11:06

Will the larger capacity battery fitted to the diesel models fit into the battery try on a 98 70R think I read somewhere on here that it did?

Here comes winter.

I'm 95% sure it would.

**thunderace** · Tuesday 30th October 2012, 12:38

I would say so as I have done the same with my 850.

Yep, straight swap as i have a high amp output diesel battery on my 850R

My 5% was you walking into a garage and trying to fit a lorry battery and then blaming me!!!

i put a peugeot boxer 2.8 turbo diesel batterie in my P1 v70.
had to move the air intake pipe 2cm but just fit in.
don't know the exact power but so far i remember its around the double of the standart batterie.

did the same on my 827 si rover, no problem in any temperature.
