Choice Of Battery
'THERE is little advantage in fitting your car with a battery larger than that specified by the car manufacturer, for a battery of the recommended size and type, if kept in good order, will give no trouble, except, perhaps, when the car does not get sufficient running.
A larger battery may run down more slowly, but will also take longer to recharge, the Petroleum Information Bureau (Australia) says. If running conditions are such that the generator cannot keep the battery charged, a home charger can be used. These are not expensive (about £5 in New Zealand) and are simple to use.
Any battery, whatever its size, is liable to perform poorly if the generator is
faulty, or if there is some other electrical fault in the car.
