Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Own a Mondial? Need a battery?

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Thanks Rick. The 34R is the factory spec battery for my '87 GT4 too. That's 
useful info as my battery is approaching 5 years old since I bought it in 
Tucson.

Subject: [Ferrari] Own a Mondial? Need a battery?



Today, I went shopping for a new battery for an '83 Mondial QV.  The book calls 
for a group 34R size battery.  Group 34 is no problem but finding reverse poles 
(R) where the (+) is on the right, proved to be impossible for me today.  After 
a boatload of measurements and specification searches I found that a group 36R 
will fit the Mondial perfectly.  It has about 5% lower cold cranking amps but 
that's probably within the margin of manufacturing error.  Therefore, a group 
36R will exchange fine for a group 34R in a Mondial 8 or Mondial QV.  YMMV.

regards,

rick
