GENERAL INFORMATION
See preceding DANGER statement.
Gasoline vehicles are equipped with 12-volt, low-maintenance batteries. 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.
The manufacturer recommends a group 70, side-post battery (CC P/N 103496801) 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. 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.
