I've been using the PC680 which has 220CCA. Runs great in the summer even around 0 C in December.

I believe the general rule for batteries and CCA's are 2 CCA per 1 cubic inch... that seems kind of low but that would mean 160 ish CCA's lol.

I hope that helps

I used an Odyssey 925 until extreme cold (-20 to 30) killed it.

Get the Optima yellow top battery and you will be set, just don't leave it wired and sitting if you are planning to not drive the car for a while since it is gel.
