what will be the consequences of changing the battery to a smaller one

Question

I have a question whether if my car had a 75 ah battery so far, the change to a 60 ah battery will somehow affect the life of this battery, I note that the alternator is 120 A if it has any importance. I will also add that I still have an alternator 75 So I can put it on this smaller battery?...

Nothing should happen. If diesel, the starting current is important.

thanks for answer.Now with a clear conscientiousness I will change to the smaller one and the petrol engine

kajoj6661 · Answer

when changing the battery, see the manufacturer's recommendations for the car in which you want to change, the important thing is that the alternator is recharged and that it has the appropriate starting power (especially diesel)

sadek1979 · Answer

and I think that if you give a smaller one, it will overload it, which will damage it (it will start to heat up and boil the water)

goldwinger · Answer

What is the reason for overloading it?

adamekamator · Answer

if it is too small with too little inrush current, it will be dealt with in a few months, it will crumble the plates and the warranty does not cover dear author, what capacity do you have or maybe you know the power of the starter

After all, he wrote that gasoline, and 60Ah for gasoline, even too much. As for the alternator, the ignorant ones should not speak up if they do not know the basics

In fact, the answers were given, although my colleagues were rather guided by their instincts. The questioner, perhaps for fun, asked this question. He is not interested in what car, what engine, what kind and type of battery. A fairly elderly cousin was a car that could distinguish at least by color. In this case, and this is not the case. Probably not everyone remembers, but I do, trucks with a gasoline engine with a capacity of 12 liters. If we are dealing with such a case, the advice did not come out. The existence of a 120A alternator suggests that we may be dealing with a large unit.

Hello, nothing will happen to the battery, it will not overcharge, there is a voltage regulator, it holds the voltage, whether a large battery or a small one

Have you ever seen such a truck with a 12 V network and what had 72Ah installed? And the questioner probably has a sharan \ alhambra \ galaxy

adamekamator · Answer

viper like the 4.2 engine with audi you will start 45Ah, you will not be shocked as once when you try to start there will be a boom and smoke from under the hood where after opening the hood you will see the remains of the battery so do not write that gasoline may be small capacity, certainly much smaller than diesel the same capacity
gentlemen, the battery starts the car, it may be because it is not the battery may be larger, but not smaller

Anonymous · Answer

it will fire, but if you put on some Hy-Pery, Fivestars, or other Kagers .... I have 55Ah with ZAP (460 starting) for the workshop as a backup and I use it even 2.5 l diesels. Anyway, I know cases that they had one 45 in transit and he was smoking in the winter.

adamekamator · Answer

and the author will check the start-up current and use a battery with the same start-up current, I would advise about 50A more because I know from life that the engine is started with the lights on, radio, etc., it consumes electricity
ps. (sly loses twice)

Simple answer: It will work, but the battery will wear out faster than the one with the capacity predicted by the manufacturer.

Also not true.

Hello !

I have a similar problem and I sell a car with a 1.9D diesel engine in which a 61Ah battery is factory-mounted, I have almost a new battery in it, it is a pity to give it back because it will be very useful for my second car in which there is already a 6-year-old one I want translate but this one has a capacity of 44Ah
Will such a diesel battery do the trick, not too weak, so that I can ride it a little without any problems later, it's not my business anymore

kocyk113 · Answer

Dear colleagues, then I changed the battery to a smaller one and nothing happened, as it is still alive today , I later sold the car and the new owner uses this battery to this day: o. And this car was a two-liter omega with 115 HP engine.
