Battery

  • Hello everybody! I'm a fresh W50 owner from Estonia. Its originally an army truck, it has done only 20 000 kms but unfortunately it hasnt had much "love and care" from previous owner. Question is: what kind of batteries are best to use for 24V electric system? How much starting power etc?
  • Hello and cordially welcomely. The battery should a capacity of at least 155 Ah per piece have. 2 x 12 V of battery with 155 Ah = 24 V of 155 Ah.


    Hallo und herzlich willkommen.
    Die Batterie sollten eine Kapazität von mindestens 155 Ah pro Stück haben. 2 x 12 Volt Batterie mit 155 Ah = 24 Volt 155 Ah.

  • hello,
    two 155ah would be nice, but my ifa also starts with two really old and 2 or 3 times deep loaded 80ah even at -10 degree. i think when you only use them for car not in the shellter some little smaller ons will work too, its a question of money.
    ingo

  • In my repair manual for "Fortschritt ZT 300D ZT 303D" on page 7, point 1.2 "Elektrische Anlage" electrical installation is also written that two pieces of 12 V 135 Ah batteries are needed.
    I installed two 170 Ah batteries, because of cold winters, and because they were only 10€ costlier than the 140 Ah batteries.

  • Thanks for everyone!


    I just bought and installed two 155 Ah batteries. As far as I can say, they work just fine. Since its often -25 here in winter, I hope it justifies spending more money on batteries.


    I wonder where could I get a repair manual for W50 (4x4). Any suggestions?

    Vielen Dank für alle!


    Ich habe gerade gekauft und installiert zwei 155 Ah Batterien. Soweit ich das beurteilen kann sagen, sie arbeiten einfach gut. Seit seiner oft -25 hier im Winter, ich hoffe, es rechtfertigt, mehr Geld in Batterien.


    Ich frage mich, wo könnte ich eine Reparaturanleitung für W50 (4x4). Irgendwelche Vorschläge?
