anything over 400 CCA is fine for a FC

Volts are a little low though. It should be at 12.6 volts at dead off.

What is the voltage when the car is running? It should be above 13.5 volts in order to charge the battery

Also check the voltage when you turn the key. It should be 10V and not any lower. Otherwise it means the battery is weak or bad. You can have any auto store test it for free.
