Ok reviving this thread now.. thanks to moralfibre for giving me the link..
I've just replaced my old EXIDE 35Ah battery on the Baleno with an Amaron 60Ah battery (the one recommended for the indica, etc.)
Before I got down to replacing the battery, I faced the same symptoms as Sam did. I did get an unbarealbly loud whine while the A/C is turned on. Initially thought it was Alternator whine, but the traced it out to be a worn out timing belt. (the car's done 92000kms, so the worn out timing belt is acceptable)
Moreover, my point of posting here is that I too have noticed that the bass coming out from my speakers is now cleansed .. no more sloppy bass..
Also for those of you who're wondering whether the Baleno can handle an upgrade from 35Ah to 60Ah, well it can. I checked the specifications of the alternator and it delivers ~ 80A @ 13.5v at 2000rpm. |
