Looking for a new car battery for the Starlet (again)...

Had a car breakdown, but it wasnt the Toyota Starlet parts that broke, it was the Tudor Battery.. Had to get a new one, even though the Tudor was only about 2-3 years old.

The Tudor Dual battery was crap. Dont buy it for use in a car. Trying to get it to work with the CTEK MXS 7.0 but no luck. Using a Fluke 789 to measure voltage.

Went to Autoexperten in Bromma (Sthlm) and they only sold Varta. The plus pole is on the wrong side..


Then I was planning to buy the Biltema Silver-kalciumbatteri since they have 4 years of guarantee, I thought this 62A battery for 799 SEK would fit but the plus pole was on the right side. Need it to be left side if I dont wanna extend the cables..

Tesla Model X, some pictures

This post is not about the Starlet... more about Electric cars.. Namely the Tesla Model X.

Was out to the mall here in Sweden, Västerås and found a Tesla Model X being demostrated. It cost about 970 000 SEK and has two electric engines, one in front and one in the back. The battery is located under the floor. And you can pull a pretty heavy trailer / caravan with this Tesla


Tesla Model X. You can carry a small bag in the front.

Nice White vinyl, this was more durable and better lasting than leather the seller told me.
