Which Battery
Posted: Fri Apr 14, 2017 8:11 am
Hi all,
An entry level question about batteries!
I have a Mercury blue band 50hp (electronic ignition model) 1979 ish. The battery I currently have on it is a 12V, 91Ah - I understand this to be a fairly "heavy duty" battery - I'm guessing it will turn the engine over for longer.
Is anyone aware of the minimums / maximum Ah for this type of engine? Any recommendations on what to go for (or just replace like for like or as near as?) - I assume this is effectively a car battery
Thank you
Paul
