    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    Thanks for your reply I had thought that the Lithium battery would charge at the right voltage and amperage. I was looking for an alternator that could be adapted to charge a lithium battery without a charger. Those JS alternators were the closest thing i could find. Cause you could set the...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    Thanks for your reply Your right most of the lithium batteries i have been looking at have the BMS built in. And they all have a special voltage and amperage. But that funky alternator i found has an adjustable voltage but it doesn't have an adjustable amperage. But alot of the batteries...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    I found a high output alternator that is interesting. Because it can be adjusted to charge a lithium battery. It has different voltage regulators to choose from. But the high output amperage of the alternator is to high to charge a single lithium battery. You would have to have more then 1...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    Thank you for your reply Your right about the alternator but i might upgrade it anyway to match my mustangs 250 or 300 amp alternator LOL Im not sure what alternator that i have in there specifically. Can't find specs on the alternators.

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    The truck isn't straining to start but the stater itself doesn't sound healthy with the weaker battery. I got 910CA and 720cca in there and it sounds healthier. So what i have is fine but i would like to get closer to the factory reccomendations for the engine. I have some kicker speakers...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    Agreed and i think it would be less expensive and less dangerous to wire up 2 AGM batteries then to buy the Lithium Battery. I was thinking of just running 2 Braille Batteries together. They are light weight and thin enough to put 2 side by side in my battery tray. So i might upgrade the...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    You might have to use a special charger to charge the battery using your alternator witch i think really sucks. Cause then the life of your battery is linked to how well the charger works. Batteries last 11 years but how long do the chargers last huh, that is the questions. So you have to buy...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    Thank you for your reply I thought about just bending the tray a little to take an optima yellow top battery. But then decided i wouldn't want to do that. I also thought or was wondering if i could just bolt the explorer tray to the ranger tray then just drop the battery in. Idk the 65...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    Thanks for your reply You can hear the stater spin and tick now before the engine starts with the new battery. The weaker battery i had before didn't really get the starter going you couldn't really hear it before the truck fires up. I had my stater checked and they didn't say anything about...

    I found some cheaper batteries but there made in China. DoHon international batteries. But there sold on Ebay, Amazon, and Alibaba witch i don't trust. I can't find there manufacturer website. It seems to be only on Alibaba. I don't want to turn my truck into a dumpster fire. The batteries...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    Thanks for your reply Me 2 thats alot of money for a battery. It had better be the last battery id ever need or something. But the starter in the truck seems weak i think because the battery. It seemed real weak with the even smaller battery 590cca or stock ranger battery size 59. It is...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    Well after looking at the specs of the lithium Titanium Oxide battery. Im a little concerned that it can't work with my alternator. It says max charge 60amps. But my alternator stock is 130 amps or more. So maybe this other battery would work by Dakota Lithium Its a little tall though at...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    I just wanted to link directly to the LTO Dakota Lithium battery. It is the only battery that meets the power requirements of 1000CA and 860cca or 850cca. It is made in America i think. I have been searching online for something like it and can't find anything. It seems to be one of a kind...

    Selecting Ranger for v8 swap and selecting donor vehicle

    Which Ford Ranger year has the largest engine compartment between the years of 1983-2011? Sorry if that is a stupid question? Or commonly known answer. But i don't know the answer. Will a explorer 8.8 axle fit any of those years 1983-2011 or just some of those years.

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    The braille batteries don't have cold cranking amp listed on most of there batteries, just pulse cranking amps. Witch doesn't really tell you much about the battery. They also don't tell you the cranking amps. They have lots of photos of there batteries but few specs and there data sheets...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    There are also some race car batteries from Braille Batteries. That will fit in there that might work. But there all about the weight of the battery witch isn't really a problem for me. But figure i should mention them. They have some interesting batteries. They have lightweight AGM...

    Thank you for your reply's The LiFePo4 batteries look pretty good and they sell them on Amazon...:) Easy returns... fast shipping... They seem to have a few that will fit as well, i will check them out. Maybe there better than the Dakota Lithium. The LiFePo4 batteries seem to be more like car...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    Well i sent them a message asking some questions and requested a data sheet. They only have 3 batteries for cars and trucks. Out of those 3 batteries only 1 has regular car or automotive terminals on it. And there opposite of my terminals. But that shouldn't be to much of a problem. Its the...

    How important are Cold Cranking Amps on your battery?

    Thanks for your all your replys I don't want my truck to blow up or catch on fire for sure. I don't want to have to modify the alternator either or anything like that. I was hoping to find an easy plug and play battery. I will do a bunch of research on these Lithium Batteries before i get...
