The Mitsubishi L200 II (1986-1996) is a robust pick-up, widely recognized for its durability and versatility. Depending on the engine version, the correct battery must be selected, taking into account capacity, cranking current, and terminal layout.
For petrol versions with 1.6, 2.0, and 2.0 4WD engines without a Start-Stop system, lead-acid batteries with a capacity of 60 Ah and a cranking current of 390-540 A are recommended. Examples of compatible models include Bosch S40 25, Exide EB605, and Varta D48. Note the unusual terminal layout, as batteries with the positive terminal on the left side are often required. Additionally, non-standard mounts such as B0 or Korean B1 are used.
Larger petrol engines like the 2.4, 2.6, or 3.0, including their 4WD versions, require batteries with a capacity of 70-75 Ah and a cranking current of 540-630 A. Bosch S40 27, Exide EA755, and Varta E24 are good choices. The same specifications apply to diesel engines like the 2.5 D, 2.5 TD 4WD, and 2.8 D.
Interestingly, the Mitsubishi L200 II was one of the first pick-ups to gain popularity for both work and recreation. A well-chosen battery ensures reliability, even under the challenging off-road conditions this model often faces.
When purchasing a battery, remember to regularly check its condition and charge, especially before winter, as cold temperatures can affect performance. Choosing a reputable brand guarantees longer lifespan and greater reliability.
