How many CCA's?

[Lewis]

I have an Eterna with a 6A12TT engine (2 litre), auto trans, and need a new battery. Anyone know how many CCA's would be adequate?

Thanks

Hi
I would recommend that you get a battery with a Cold Cranking figure of around 500 amps ( SAE - beware that there are several other " Standards" that batteries are quoted in!!) ... but as this is an Auto, aiming for nearer 600 amps would be wiser, in the long term, as it will give you a 'safety net' with the extra power!
Hope that helps!
