EDST777 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hello. Friends, my battery died, I am going to do replacement. Now (my dead battery) at me the battery 74 Ampere hour, it worked three years, a driving for 93% in the city therefore a constant small charge, I think. The manager in autoshop offered me the battery 115 Ampere hours. Help me council, whether I need to ship 115 amperes of hours or nevertheless to ship new 74 amperes of hour (that will be lower at cost). Thanks.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 If you are happy with the 74 AH battery performance in your environmental conditions, get another one! The bigger battery should give you more reserve time and more CCAs, but it's not a must-have unless you upgrade to more power-hungry electronics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDST777 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Friends, there can be someone knows what starting (Amps) current of a starter on Ford EDGE 2008? The matter is that on numerous sites on selection of batteries starting current of the battery 800 A is recommended. I think that this starting current of the battery with a stock and it is higher than starting current which is necessary for a starter. But what starting current of a starter, it is interesting, I didn't find this information in a manual?

akirby Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 The standard replacement battery at Autozone is 650 CCA (cold cranking amps). Anything higher just gives you a safety margin if the battery gets weak or you have a starter/engine problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
