what size battery in your truck

[J Hodges]

I bought a new battery for my truck about a year ago. It developed a bad lifter tap so it was parked and I put the battery on my racecar since it fits perfect. I plan on buying a new battery in a week or so. I was hoping to get away with the $50 battery which is 540cca. If not I will go with the $75 battery which is 900 and something cca and is huge. I have a basically stock 390 in my truck

525 CCA is what is currently in my truck, has been cranking it for several years.

I buy the cheapest that I can find and 3 years life is all that I am looking for, more than that I think I got a steal.

I have a 300, but I think my battery is only 525 or so as well. Was starting to turn over slower under 30, but that was my alternator's fault. Will see how it handles these Colorado winters.

I guess it depends on climate more than anything. I don't buy less than 1050 CCA in my part of the country (Northern Wisconsin).

mine is 750cca , only because my dad found a dead battery and swapped it in for an exchange and just paid the prorate charge
