Battery upgrade

[bfiakas]

Has anybody upgrade to a 92 Explorer(group 65) battery on a B2? Oreillys has Motorcraft which have the smallest dementions and have 750 CA and 750 CCA capacity.I was concerned if the starter could handle the higher amps.

If it fits in the tray, you can go to a 1000cca if you want. Starter won't know the difference.

Starter will only draw as many amps as it needs to spin the engine for conditions.

Batteries do not "push" amps to the starter. The starter "draws" the amps from the battery.


You could line the whole box of your truck FULL with 12v, 1000cca batteries, wired in parallel, and your starter would only take just enough juice to turn the engine over as required.

I thought group 65 was stock? That's what my '89 had when I got it, and the size specified when I had to replace it. As far as amps, listen to them folks. Bigger is better.
