battery size
need to know what is the recommended battery size for zx 1.9. TQ
55Ah or 60Ah - whichever fits the hole & mounting methods in your ZX
- most common size for standard cars, but note that there are a couple of variants as to the physical layout and the location of the poles.
Make a simple sketch off your old battery showing location of +/- poles - width/lenght of battery case - and any protruding edges for mounting. Then simply shop around.
There are large price differences - and huge numbers of makers.
Branded quality batteries would last a couple of y's longer than the cheaper unknown species - but usually it pays buying the cheaper ones as they may be down to less than half price - and you only gain 2-3 y's extra battery life with expensive ones.
Life expectancy of car batteries range from 4-7 y's - depending on the quality.
