ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Battery size and CCA's

    Good day everyone. Couple questions about our battery:

    1. What size fits the CB7?
    2. What is a good CCA rating?
    3. What's a good brand?

    Thanks,
    Cris P.

      Optima batteries are made by johnson control group or something like that, which also makes duralst batteries @ Autozone. Pretty good batteries. Im thinking of throwing a 51 group size in my cb.

        1. What size fits the CB7?
        Group 24-25, but if you have it converted to the trunk then size wont matter, just make sure when you close your hood the terminals aren't touching the hood.
        2. What is a good CCA rating?
        Around 600cca, i think are car needs aleast 450 or 550cca, but you can always get one with more cca.
        3. What's a good brand?
        Depends on your use, anyone will be good for regular use, if its in the trunk or elsewhere get something like an optima which i think are the best you can find at a local store.

        What does CCA mean?
        Cold Cranking Amps is a rating used in the battery industry to define a battery's ability to start an engine in cold temperatures. The rating is the number of amps a new, fully charged battery can deliver at 0° Farenheit for 30 seconds, while maintaining a voltage of at least 7.2 volts, for a 12 volt battery. The higher the CCA rating, the greater the starting power of the battery.

        What is reserve capacity?
        Reserve Capacity, (RC) is a battery industry rating, defining a battery's ability to power a vehicle with an inoperative alternator or fan belt. The rating is the number of minutes a battery at 80 degrees F can be discharged at 25 amps and maintain a voltage of 10.5 volts for a 12 volt battery. The higher the reserve rating, the longer your vehicle can operate should your alternator or fan belt fail.
