Would y’all trust this battery?

Here in the Middle East I have limited access to batteries. I found optima, but they are 450 dollars here in Lebanon.

I found this for 180. Is it good? Thanks.

 

Without knowing what that is, but knowing what an Optima is, I'll take the stranger. No actual idea though.

You have a third gen in Lebanon?

 

yup. I shipped it with me from Texas.

 

I'd run it. Varta are fairly well known German batteries. Good quality.

 

pretty sure varta is a german company, and i think they make those batteries in germany, I would bet it is good enough to be a reliable battery

 

Sweet!

 

Great news. Thanks!
It has lower amps than my stock Toyota conventional battery. Is that an issue ?

 

if the batteries are the same voltage i think you ok, as long as you dont have crazy amount of aftermarket electrical stuff added either i think

 

I have 4 light bars and 8 pods and a winch

 

My varta battery was made in germany and lasted in my VW for over 10yrs!!!

Made in Germany, looks like a very good battery from the specs.

 

i would highly advise against running/using electrical things like the radio and lights etc without the engine running...

 

I do that sometimes with my conventional. Is the only risk my battery dying ?

 

im not an expert with this stuff by any means, but my understanding is that amps are for cranking the car over turning the engine on so since this battery you are considering has lower amps, my worry would if the battery gets low you risk a greater chance of not having enough to crank it over successfully... leaving you stranded on the side of the mountain or desert.

 

Shit. Well thankfully I have a battery charger.

 

Good enough for government work

 

Also, is the e39 the same size as 24f? Will that fit in my truck ?


Thanks for the help guys.

 

Do you have a charging system for agm installed or modified through the ECU?

 

Where in Lebanon are you?

 

I don’t even know what this means
