Hi all!

I would like to combine my two present 8D batteries into a single house bank and then add a separate starting battery.

What size starting battery (in CCA?) would I need to start my Perkins 135 in moderate conditions (North Carolina).

Thanks in advance,

jRay,

I use one grp 37 battery  Delco sealed type to start my Perkins 135's,
Works great.
