    Newer auto's do not respond to the remove the cable and if it dies its alternator etc. They are made different these days. I found out recently so don't depend on that test. Have to take them off and take them to be tested these days on at least 2000 and up. Damn computers

Are you saying that you got this battery from autozone? I went thru three batteries in a week from autozone because the lot# was bad. It,'s quite possible that you have either a short that is draining the battery or that the alternator isnt charging properly. To do a fast check, start the car then remove the positive battery cable with the car running. If it stays running, theres a chance its ok. If it dies, It's most likely the alternator or the voltage regulator Diods. On most cars, the voltage regulator is built into the alternator. I would take it to autozone and have the charging system checked

Why should i not go down battery size cca in my 98 dodge ram 1500 is 650 cca okay for afew days or will it mess something up
It will work fine. The CCA is a rating of how much power that the battery is capable of delivering at once and as the name suggests, cold cranking amps, is needed more in cold temperatures. As long as you are not in the arctic, it should be fine for a couple of days.

WHAT SIZE BATTERY DOES THE CHEV CRUZ 2012 1.6 USE
Great question...The normal new car battery rating is 650 CCA (cold cranking amps) The new car battery usually has a prorated 5-6 year battery warranty. When replacing compare the CCA to the factory...It is always wise to upgrade to a higher rated CCA battery. Auto Zone Gold for the Cruz is a 800 CCA rated battery...Also Costco competes great in price:) All of these auto stores will have the correct battery group for your Cruz...A wise upgraded investment...The new batteries will be 6-7 year pro-rated, with some 100% 3 year replacement. Be sure to compare:)

1966 ford pickup 352 motor turns over but acts as if the battery is dieing has new starter battery, cylanoid and wires
Battery may not have enough cranking amps to turn it over. Those old fords need at least 800 cca and to be fully charged. Keep in mind that not all new starters (parts in general) are always good. Make sure nothing else is drawing a bunch of juice from the battery at the same time. Like an aftermarket stereo for instance.

My 1997 Chevy K2500 keeps dying. I think it is a bad connection on the positive, but when the connection breaks, the truck dies. I think it needs an alternator too, but this has been going on for months...
If I understand your query right. Your truck keeps dying.
1. Might need a tune-up (plugs and gap adjust to spec.), plugs wires, fuel filter, cap, rotor. air filter)
2. I suspect the fuel filter-----or high voltage to ground (like spark to ground)
For charging system
1. Battery test (Voltage reading)
2. Take the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) divide by 2
example: 600cca / 2 = 300
3. With a carbon pipe tester load 300amps for 15 seconds and read the voltage drop. Should not go under 9.5volts if not the battery won't pass the test.
4. The alternator has to be tested for "alternator max.output"
Make sure you have good terminals connection +and - of the battery before doing any test.

Hope it helps.

My 2001 outback has manual transmission. Original battery had 420 CCA. When I went to get replacement, I was told to use Group35N with 550 CCA. It wouldn't fit. I was also warned that a battery drawing too...
Not fitting is the issue, not the Cold Cranking Amps. You want the most CCA you can get in the size that fits. What CCA means is you have more power to crank the car longer before the battery dies.
New batteries need to be charged (the parts store should make sure of that) before installation or else you could/maybe/possibly overload the alternator. Once the battery is fully charged it makes no difference to the alternator because you are still using the same amount of power but from a larger battery capacity.
That being said if someone installed a 550CCA battery (that fit) into your car instead of the 420CCA and didn't tell you, you would never know it. The 550CCA is just a heavier dutier battery.

No nothing about cars. whats the best battery to get for my 04 grand cherokee 4.0
The brand is of less importance than the battery specs

The battery should be the same group size,same physical size and same Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) as came with the vehicle when new
You sometimes can increase the CCA, after new products come out.
I would sugest the largest CCA Battery, that is the correct Group Size
Around 750 or more CCA

What size battery for a 1999 Porsche 996?
Don't worry about the size ... the group, etc. Go to the auto parts store tell them what your car is and they will provide you with exactly the proper size with the proper posts in the right place.

Your will have to make the decision "Economy", "Standard" or "Premium". These different grade batteries will provide different CCA ratings with more CCA at the higher end. CCA = Cold Crank Amps. Buy as much battery as you an afford if you are keeping this vehicle.

Battery dies after doors are left open
Hello, you are wantng to know if you have the right size battery for your vehicle. It sounds as if your battery may not have enough cold crank amps in it to support your vehicle, or either the battery you have has a bad cell. Your local auto supply store should be able to help determine if the battery is bad. It may also have just a surface charge and need to be charged on a trickle charger overnight or either there may be a parasitic draw on your battery beside the lights, but before going through a bunch of different test check your battery condition, then manufacturer specs, then battery cranking amps to manufacturer specs. I would say about a 800 cca battery at least.
