Replacement battery for XBow

  • Hi - I have a 2009 XBow (upgraded to 350hp). It currently has a lightweight battery (similar to a motorcycle battery). It recently lost charge at a track day. I am thinking of replacing it now with a tradition/normal battery.


    Does anyone have any knowledge of what size/type of battery is appropriate for the XBow?


    Also, any tips or pointers on the replacement procedure? Key in ignition, not in ignition? Find little nephew to crawl into passenger footwell? :)


    thanks.

  • Why a larger heavier battery?


    If it's unserviceable, replace it with the same light weiht one and install an battery cut off switch, in order not to be drained by the small current of the immobilizer.


    As far as I know, there is no special procedure required for battery change, just disconnect it in the right order.

  • I guess I was being lazy thinking. Instead of one that lasts a week, get one that lasts longer (even though car is normally on trickle charge) for the additional 5 kgs…


    ...but maybe I blaspheme on a lightweight forum :D
