  • CCA Capacity of the factory battery

    Hello

    I searched for this info, incl my owners manual and checked the battery (most of the words are in Jap!) - and cant find it! I must admit (as my other half says) - i had a blokes look.

    :wink:

    I rang 2 Toyo dealers and they didnt know (im not suprised).

    Does anyone know? I am fitting a winch off the main battery terminals and yes, people have said the factory is no good but im still keen to know what the capacity is as i may be able to use it elsewhere (wife's car, ski boat etc) if it is a decent capacity. The TJM Ox winch says to use a 650cca min battery. I would have thought the factory battery would be around 550-600cca.

    cheers

    Re: CCA Capacity of the factory battery

    Bit difficult to find out, the guy at the battey shop thought they were around the 590 CCA mark. But the main problem is the build quality, if you do any serious off road, vibrations tend to crack the case, the problem is made worse if they are over tightened.

    The internals plates are up to the same quality as the outside material, crap.

    Check to see if in your service they have checked the battery acid levels.

    After I remove them from the car, they usually are put out to pasture on electric fences and they only last about 12 mths or so :roll:

    They probably would make a good anchor, or a door stop ??

      Ooops forgot, the whole point of my previous post was they are only designed to *just* handle the loads of the normal prado starts. The battery guy also noted there maybe variation between the basic model and the Grande, with the top models having more electronic stuff, hence needing a bigger battery.

      As many will testify (including pradogxlv6) if you stick a winch that can draw up to +700A and you use the winch for more than 30 secs, you will probably melt the original battery.

      The original GS Nippon batteries are made under the GS Yuasa name BUT they are a very cheap product.

      I started replacing the std toyota batteries early 2001 with Overlander GS Yuasa and I've never had a problem.

        I've just fitted a winch and figure that the stock standard battery might not be up to much winching. What brand of battery did you get?

          Also, there is a difference between the batteries in the V6 Grande and the GXL D4D - D4D being noticeably bigger. (Comparison of one pair of vehicles, both recent) Don't know if bigger battery means more CCA though.

              update....

              760 CCA and 105 ah Supercharge Allrounder (combined cranking/deep cycle) - new in cranking position and Aux position. So far, all sweet. Fitted a "Sulfarid" device to take care of the sulphation which according to the stats is the primary reason for battery death. Time will tell.

              cheers

                I just had mine replaced, Petrol 4L - I have no winch drawing off it. The battery fitter said 600CCA is the standard they fit to them.

                He noted it because it seems the previous owner had gone cheapo and swapped the original battery to be the second battery in the dual set up and slotted in a smaller one in as the starter. He did also run the Superwinch and rear power outlet from the original Tojo battery but I suspect the winch never got used in anger.

                  pradogxlv6 Iam suprised to see your GSYUASA N70 is Australian Made.
                  How does the N70 compare to the factory battery on the scales?
                  Where you able to use the original battery tray and hold down clamp?
