starter battery for MD7A

Post by BobF »

I would like to install a separate starter battery for Zephyr's MD7A. What size battery, in terms of cranking amps or cold cranking amps, would be appropriate. Obvioulsy I want to use the smallest size battery that would be adequate for the job. Thanks.

We also have an MD7A. According to my Palm, we installed a series 24 marine dual purpose battery with 550 cold cranking amps and 690 MCA in June. Cost was $65.
