Re: What's So Special About Battery?

original type of aftermarket size battery from looking @ autozone's website = 24F --700 COLD CRANKING AMPS (875 CRANKING AMPS)

you can goto walmart/pepboys & get a size 34 battery w/ a plastic spacer to make it taller,just like the OEM size. walmart's yellow battery has a better warranty & CCA/CA specs...for the price

only other thing to check is top post battery terminals +/- can reach your battery cables!

the aftermarket also stocks a size # 34/78 (34=top post/ 78=side post for GM cars) which has substantial amount of CCA over OEM specs... the top posts are centered so the battery can be switched to face to the closest proper battery +/- terminals.

(i recall this from being a parts/service guy 6 years ago...)
