Hi,
Can anyone tell me the correct size and type of battery I need for my "D" reg 944 pretty please?

Thanks!
 
I was wondering this too. Im not sure how batteries are spec'd, but i guess AH is what im after?
 
No: many suitable ampere-hour or CCA rated batteries will not fit in the space available, hence the battery reference numbers.
 
Hi, Thanks for your help. After buying one battery that physically won't fit in the space just looking for a bit of reassurance that this will work / fit. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_264157_langId_-1_categoryId_165762
 
Think it varies with car age - early cars have a smaller battery than the later carsdue at least in part to its location - what year is yours? Square or oval dash? Mike
 
An 065 will fit in an early car, although an 063 is more commonly fitted to 924Ss (which is smaller). An 065 will also fit into the rear or a RHD series two car. Simon
 
I think that an 096 will be the largest thatll fit either model and an 063 is the cheapest thatll do the job. I usually use an 065.
 
Ok - I admit - im crap at cars - i just like driving them. My battery says: 100 71 AH EN 680 cca Is this suitable for a 944 turbo?
 
Right, so all 063 and 065 batteries will fit any 944, do I understand correctly? So my '84 944 will be perfectly happy with this one? [link=http://www.tayna.co.uk/W065TE-Numax-Car-Battery-P2271.html]http://www.tayna.co.uk/W065TE-Numax-Car-Battery-P2271.html[/link]
 
The battery listed for the later (rear battery 944) at Halfords is wrong. It is about 5mm too tall. So the carpet doesn't go down. I think the correct one is HB010 that is what is on my records anyway.
 
An 063 will certainly fit with room to spare. I have an 065 fitted to my old series one car at present and it fits but theres little clearance. Ive always fitted 065s to 924s and early 944s in the past and they have all fitted, although usually with a few mm more clearance than I have currently...
 
Happy to say the 063 is a tiny battery that went in easily with lots of room to spare. Thanks for your help.
