Ok guys, what's the LARGEST Cold Cranking Amp battery I can get and still have it fit in the stock location??

Thanks for the help!!

 

mine is a exide orbital battery it is 1100 ca and 770 cca...cost just over $100...just had to bend the sides a little for it to fit. not really enough to matter

The one they list is 950ca/770cca....I didn't see the 1100ca/770cca???

But I did find the dimensions....so thanks man!!

 

you dont need dimensions, SLI's ( car batteries ) come in group sizes. ours is a group size 34. just get a red top optima their are a few different ones but they are all extremely underrated.

 

i have an optima red top and its 940 cca's its a direct swap ...

 

Jared, i've got the same exact battery sitting in my garage waiting to put in.. did you need the little adapter kit thing they mention on their website? it helps the battery sit in stock location or some b.s. like that... i didnt bother taking a look to see if it would even fit yet cause so far i've assummed it wouldnt with out this "adaptor thing" they're mentioning.

 

you will need the adapter or i did in my 04 3.0

 

Just write down the length and width of the plate the battery sits on, and how tall a battery the hold-down device will accomodate, and then compare those figures to the dimensions of batteries you look at in stores, to see how big a battery you can install.

 

yes you will need the adapter, but it came with my battery. take a picture of your battery, and i can tell you if you have it or not ...

 

damn... hoped i wouldn't need it. i know this battery doesn't have it. no big deal tho.. my dad got it from pep boys, so im gonna go ahead over there this afternoon and find what i need. thanks guys.

 

if they dont have it at pep boys just give optima a call and they will send you one, or they did for my friend's 05 Xterra

 

yeah i think i read something like that here online somewhere... they'll send me whatever i need.. that's my second option if pep boys doesnt have anything for me. i should be over there at some point tonight.. so we'll see.

 

I had to rip out the stock battery clamp to fit my yellow top.

 

I want to get a yellow top with the dual posts..
so I can put the extra stuff on a seperate line from the side posts and make it
cleaner looking.
