Battery Replacement

Post by Dahlstan »

Hey guys,
It’s that time of year for me to remove that car cover and get my spider back on the road for its third summer of ownership! However, when I went to jump the car with my jump box. The car started turning over very, very slowly. I assume that this is due to the battery voltage reading four when not connected to the jump box. I am now looking to replace the battery however it seems like the previous owner connected. They die hard 24–2 battery to the car. I cannot find this anywhere. The closest I can find is 24–2 with the same cold crank number But a slightly smaller Reserve. Would this battery be OK to put in the car? It is a die hard 24F – two or is there a different battery that y’all recommend? Thank you.
