Help with battery choice please!

Post by thelyonsfamily »

Hi All

I have a 1985 Hi-Top. The original engine 1.6 Turbo diesel has been replaced with a 1.9 TDi from an Audi. The current battery needs replacing and is a

PLATINUM PRESTIGE 110
VOLTAGE 12V
CCA SAE 800 AMPS
AH (20h) 80 AMPS

Can I replace it with a similar spec one or will I need a different one now that it has a bigger engine? I do not have a leisure battery and the current one runs the starter and is wired to run the internal lights (mostly use hook up)

Thanks :)
Helen
