12v battery

[Jaybird]

My battery on the ZD30 has died. Repco in my area has a replacement for $190
a N70ZZ they didnt mention the CCA rating.
Can someone tell me what CCA I should be looking for I have no fancy accessories like spot lights the car is stock standard but have mounted an AGM in the tub powered through a relay.
Thanks

700 to 800 cca should be ok

+1. Your starter can draw up to 550A - you really want a battery that isn't stretching to deliver that much power. Century make a 910CCA battery - you only have to wave the key in the direction of the ignition and that sucker's turning the engine over.

The CCA rating refers only to how much starting power the battery can deliver, it doesn't matter what accessories you run - that part is up to your alternator. If your alternator can't deliver enough juice to keep the engine and the accessories going (and the battery charged), it may have a miserably shorter life and your accessories may not function as well as you might expect.
