Subject: Re: SAAB Battery or 3rd Party?


The same thing happened to my 93 900t - anyway the car alarm needs some current too.. and some months is a short time. My dealer changed the battery agains a VATRA (not Sweden, a quite common type here) that looks a litte different (white, not black) an has some more Ah. Unfortunately the new one is a little larger than the old one and doesnīt fit excactly on the socket and the distance to the turbo charger housing is not perfect - nothing really too important, but... -also this wonīt be a problem on the new 900.. And electrical: Itīs better than the original one (starting...) and the new one did not break down any more till today. So my recom.: donīt buy expensive spareparts, take a fine common one, VATRA is a quite good choise...
