My mate owns a large motor factors and I spoke to him years ago regarding a heavier battery for an FTO I owned at the time and he told me that the Jap battery's are all pretty poor and standard in a way. The battery for the 2ltr V6 engined car I had was the same battery fitted to micras. We had the same conversation last week when I ordered a new battery for the jimny I just bought, was wanting something meatier, the biggest battery in terms of output he could provide for it was the one it came out the factory with. Obviously we could have started cutting things up and making another battery fit but I just went for a fresh standard unit. (45ah)
