Advise needed on changing of battery.

Post by vollic 75 »

Mine is a Volvo S40 2000 1.6i.The original volvo battery specs is a 12volts 520A 95min reserved capacity wet cell type.I've been hunting for the same specs but not successful.Some of the catalogs like Bosch and other brands recommend me 12 volts 55AH 570A or 12 volts 62AH 480A both of which is dry cell types.Need some advise on choosing the correct type of battery,as i will be replacing it myself.Anyway i'm living in europe with temperature as low as minus 10 degree,so choosing the right battery is important(preferably dry cell type) cos maintenance free.
