Cheers >Read in the great N.W. ================================================= Do you mean great like in great or great like in great big and not really great. Sears only rates by cold cranking amps which is 550 per battery which would total 1650 cold cranking amps. The real test is to buy one and charge over night and then crank the heck out of the Cat, then when you add two more in parallel you won't even think how many amps. And if you don't like the test money refunded no problem. When you buy the batteries tell them they are for a number of cars, for if you say it's for a boat they will cut the warranty oin half. I say I am giving a gift to the kids next door for cars they are working on. "Try it you'll like it" .
