Hey guys,
I picked up a diesel generator 12v battery that needed to be replaced at work because there was a power cut and the battery voltage went down to ~3volts over a few days (we installed it last year so it's really only 1 year old) so I took it home and I'm charging it up tonight with a real 12v battery charger (reconditionner). I'm fairly confident the battery is still 100% in good shape.
That battery was installed in a CAT diesel generator in pair to provide 24v. The brand is Detroit Genuine Parts.
Here is the picture of the specs: https://i.imgur.com/UGdLpnH.jpg
That battery is quite heavier, and a little bigger than the one I have actually in my TDI, but it could fit. Do you think it's too powerful for my poor TDI ? Do I risk breaking anything if the starter is powered with too much amperage ?
