Default Re: Battery Replacement

Just a comment on your listing. I too have a 2007 coupe, and had the same issue but it did need a little more water then yours BUT when I put a charger on it over the winter because I too only drive it once or twice every 6 months, it boiled over. Luckily I caught it before any real damage.

I replaced it with a "maintenance free" battery and all is well. Just keep a eye on the battery and save yourself some possible grief. Next week I am going to try to put a plastic case around the battery like we do for the Briyish Leyland cars to protect the metal under the battery from damage. I'll let you know if it works.

OK I know I should drive it more BUT I enjoy my collection of roadsters more. It is kinda like a step child but I do like the lines of the coupe. It reminds me of the split window vet.
