[C38] Starter battery: How many CCA/MCA?

[Steve Smolinske]

Marc, go with the larger battery, it may weigh a few more pounds, BUT you always want it to work when you need it, nothing worse than listening to it crank when you need to get clear of something.

Hey Marc, Sorry cant be of much help, I run a group 27 also.  Never thought of buying anything smaller, even after switching to a gear reduction starter.  Which, by the way is well worth it.  No one was answering, so I thought I'd throw in my thoughts.

Hi all,

I need to replace the starter battery on Image. Do you know how many Cold Cranking Amps or Marine Cranking amps are required? The previous battery was a Group 27 with 600 CCA, I am wondering if I can get away with a Group 24 this time. The engine is the standard Universal 5424.

Thanks
marc
