Car Won't Start--RESOLVED 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray N. on  Thu May 27 16:56 CST 2004 [RELATED]

There are two battery sizes that will fit and both are listed on the
replacement charts. The larger one has more cold cranking capacity.
I guess your mechanic is in the size matters camp. Either should
work with the larger one a bit better if you live in an extremely
cold climate or have an after-market mega watt stereo system.

Corroded wires around the battery tray are not uncommon. But
typically it is the ground wire that I have seen reported (here)
with the corrosion problem.
