Well, got my Sandra Dee on the road today- and what a thrill! Final touch was replacing the battery, bought a Duralast Gold w/750 cold cranking amps, 935 cranking amps and 130 reserve minutes.. now it fits my car just fine- but is this too big for this application? Should I return it for a smaller one w/lower CCA or cranking amps? I don't want to damage the system- but on another note, the car likes the juice and gave me what she had!

If it fits it isn't too big

I think I have the same one in my car.

Duralast Gold 24DLG? I ran that in my 78 280Z for about 5 years w/no problems.

Batteries are one of the few things were the biggest one is the right one.

It's the physical SIZE of the battery that's important. That's where the Group 24 comes in.

Too many CCA's is like saying you have too many HP's... If you use them judiciously and not punch the throttle all the time, all you'll get is better and longer use.

Thank you all for understanding the simplicity of my question- but the dumb questions are the one's that aren't asked!

This is the secondtime here I've read about someone thinking that too many CCAs might hurt the car.

What makes you think that?
