Guest GraemeM Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Can someone help me out please. What is the minimum size battery in CCA that is required to reliably start a 582? I don;t want to carry more than I need. Graeme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscotthendry Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 What size cable will you use and how close to the starter will the battery be? Do you want a battery that can start the motor in winter as well as summer? What if the engine is a bit hard to start? Would it be ok then to require a jump start from an external battery? There's not a really simple answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distance from battery to starter is no more than 1metre. I live in North Qld, it is always summer. If my engine becomes hard to start then it needs some maintenance. Pud is using a battery at 220cca, anybody successfully using any smaller? Graeme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Munro the 680 od, kicks over the 912/914 without too much effort, so considering that you might be able to get away with as little as 150cca after all it is only a mossy smoke maker.. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffreywh Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Have a look at FULLRIVER batteries. you certainly wont want bigger than the PC625 equivalent (starts my 0-200 comfortably) I bought one recently and used it to start my 4 litre V8 quite easily ($100) much to the amusement of the mechanics at Toyota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
