[Gun Runner]

Im about to purchase a new cranking battery for my 08 mdl 225 HO and I was wondering how big of a battery I need to get !!! Cold Cranking amps ??? Marine cranking amps ????

Thanks guys !!!!!

With the EMM, GPS's continually pulling juice, not to mention other accessories, I opted for a series 31 battery with 1100 ca and 1000 cca.

You need at least 1000 cca's for that engine. I bought the Sears Diehard Platinum PM-1 1150 cca. never an issue. Expensive but I believe they are worth it.

Ive been looking at the Cabelas brand group 27 AGM batterys !!!!! But the group 27 only has 950 cold cranking amps , do I need to step it up to the group 31 for my cranking battery ?

if you have or plan to have any of the new side imagings gps pulling on the crank you will need the larger battery. the day i replaced my 520,s with 2 hds my crank started going dead.
