Been having loads of issues with my knackered old battery. Picked up a Bosch s4 after it was rcommended to me on here but when I tried to fit it my the + pole on the battery turned out to be too slim for the + connector on the car.... any one got any ideas? If an FN2 owner could give me the make and model of a decent battery that fits that'd be grand
You could wrap the terminal with some thin lead sheet cut to size to bulk it out to the correct bore, then clamp onto that. I've done that on a previous car and it works perfectly as the clamp compresses it more or less into one.
However, I'd find out how other S4 battery changers have got on 1st as maybe you have a slightly different variant.
Pabby, which battery did you get? I had the opposite problem, ie,the Bosch S4021 recommended on here, has the large poles, my wifes 1.4SE has small cable connectors. You can get the right size +ve connector (which bolts to the fuse block) and -ve earth cable from Honda, but they are not cheap. A better option for me at the outset would have been to buy a Bosch S4020 ?(from memory) battery which is the same as an S4021 but with the small jap size poles.
