battery info needed
 
I need to get a new battery. I was wondering if this would be enough for my t2. its pretty small and the price isn't too bad either. also since its a dry cell it can be mounted an any agnle(at least I think this is correct).thanks in advance.

Are you planning on relocating the battery? If not its kind of a waste.

Id also look for a Hawker Odyssey PC680. About the same size and shape, but I think its a little better. I got one at a Batteries Plus store by my house for like $100.

thats a really weak battery, i would want a battery with at least over 500 cold cranking amps, but i also live where its a little colder so you may not need a more powerful battery. Im actually not sure how powerful a battery you would need to turn a 13b, but i still think thats really low

thanks. its only $75 here

I do plan on relocating it but not when I get the battery. still have other things that need attention first.

Yeah, that one is kind of low. Mine was a little stronger, and it didnt have any problems cranking my engine, or the guy I sold it to's DSM engine either.

A lawn tractor battery will crank a 13b in your climate.
Just don't ask it to run any lights or tunes with the engine off.

funny you say that I was just reading about some guy with a hoind using a tractor battery. I think I will play it safe with a reg car battery.
