I know there is a ton of info on the 51 R battery but my question is specific and i couldnt find the answer after i searched....anyways....is there one model of the 51 r battery or are there various models with different cold cranking amps? Which one do i need?

 

Get the most cranking amps...then get turbojeff's awesome stainless battery tray!!

 

I got a ProStart Premium battery at Pep Boys. CCA=500.
Also using tubojeff's SS tray.

How much are those batteries?

 

whats the stock CCA requirement?

 

I don't remember exactly, and I don't have the receipt with me, but it was probably in the $60-$70 range.

Here's a link where you can see at least see the warranty:

Requirement, I don't know. The manual calls for a battery part number 55D23L with 60Ah, it doesn't list CCA. I know people are getting by on batteries with much lower CCA's than 500.

I have a sears diehard 51r with 425cca and no starting probs at all.
