joey Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 hi I am new to motorhome.. just bought a Fiat Ducato moveo c6 2010. It won't start, charged the battery and it starts but then won't re start. I have removed the battery and it is a 680A. I have read that this is not big enough for the motorhome. Going to buy a new one tomorrow as we are going away at lunch time tomorrow, can anyone help pls and tell me what is the right one? thank you joanne :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikethe bike Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 A 680 amp hour battery would start an Aircraft Carrier I would think. one of 80 A/H sounds more like it. At 5 Yrs old it is probably wise to re-new it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Joanne, You actually mean 680 CCA which is 'Cold Cranking Amps' and is the power the battery can deliver to start the engine. The usual measure of a battery is Ah or 'Ampere Hours' and is the 'capacity' of the battery. As already stated you need a batteyr of around 80 - 90Ah at aguess. Try putting your reg or base vehicle details into the likes of Halfords website and see what batteries they recommend. This will be a lot nearer than any guessing on here :-) HTH, Keith.
