Battery For Import Rav4

[TypeG]

The Battery on my imported RAV4 needs replacement. I've just tried the one Halfords list for a standard UK model which fits the space properly but the terminal posts on it are too thick for the terminals on my car.

Can anyone suggest a supplier of a Battery with thin posts or am I better off changing the terminal clamps?

Cheers, Alan

It wouldn't be a bad idea to change the Battery clamps to suit your new Battery. As long as the Battery has got plenty of beef in it for you car with brand new battery clamps that fit this fat posted battery you should get a better contact all round and clamps are relatively cheap to replace and easy too. At least you won't have to scour the country for a battery that fits your clamps and you can replace battery clamps at the road side if need be.

hope this settles your mind a bit

Just in case any one else has the same problem, I ended up changing the Battery clamps.

Got a pair from here:
