GENERAL INFORMATION

See preceding DANGER and WARNING statements.
Gasoline vehicles are equipped with 12-volt, low-maintenance batteries that requires infrequent watering. When
changing a 12-volt battery in any gasoline-powered vehicle, the same size battery with adequate amperage ratings
should be used as a replacement.
A group 70, side-post battery (CCI P/N 1012328), with a 650 cranking amp rating at 32 °F (0 °C) (500 CCA at 0 °F
(-17.8 °C)) and a reserve capacity of at least 105 minutes is recommended. The group 70 classification indicates
battery size: 8-1/4 inches W x 6-1/2 inches D x 7-1/4 inches H (21.0 cm W x 16.5 cm D x 18.4 cm H). It is important to
use the proper size to ensure that the battery clamp will fit correctly.
