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.
