I prefer sticking to this specs, since the battery is easily obtainable. +700 CCA batteries are there, but they might need adjustments to fit the battery tray and/or the +ve/-ve terminals might be different. I would recommend BOSCH, Dura.., Ever.. over Hyundai. I think it's 24F. If you dough - go for Optima. Also Midas sells some good Nascar brand batteries.

It has easily handled the load I throw at it for shows.
