Well the Battery in my Zuk finally carked it..
It would only hold charged for 2 Hours before going flat to where it wouldnt crank over..


So I went and got a 305CCA Battery to replace the Supercheap Auto 270CCA one that was in there..

Then problems struck...

The exisiting Battery connectors were too small to suite the New Battery.. Even though it was the correct size, the connectors on the Zuk were too small to fit the out put terminals on the battery..

So
$115 for the Bosch Battery
$11 for new Terminal plugs and about an Hour and a half of stuffing around Cutting off the Old Terminals and fitting new ones..

What I need to do is try and fix the wiring to the New Terminals..

Will do that when I return home...

Amp is dead... Well I have had it for over 7 years so I wasn't expecting it to last too long..
I have now fixed the terminals and all is good apart from the amp dying...
