Leisure or engine battery?

Post by ytnom »

Hi folks I'm trying to determine if the batteries I have are right for the job.
Under the drivers seat is a hoppecke 12v 66ah 510a duplex plus with a lead logo on it. I can't find any info on it online. Anybody have any ideas?
566 049 051 is also the code that is on it.

Looks like it's intended as a conventional engine battery. It's in the table on page 4, listing "12 Volt Cars batteries ready to sell filled and charged according to Euro-Norm DIN-EN 60095-1"

Thanks so much for that I never would have found that. Really appreciated!

Managed to find the banner battery and that is also a starter battery which is disappointing. I'll see how I get on with it as have a hook up to fall back on. Another purchase for the list!
