Battery - V6 versus V8 Sign up here!

Will this hurt anything? WHat are repercussions? Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 18, 2009, 6:53 PM Post #2 of 3 (1521 views) Re: Battery - V6 versus V8 Sign In Possibly no problem at all if the CCA (cold cranking amp) rating is enough for the vehicle and it fits properly. I'll venture that a CCA rating of 550 or better is fine. If you want to move up a bit it just has more power when cold for extra strength and perhaps more reserve for several extra attempts with a higher rated battery. Even the V6 might have had an optional HD (heavy duty) system, T Guest Anonymous Poster Jan 18, 2009, 7:19 PM Post #3 of 3 (1518 views) Re: Battery - V6 versus V8 Sign In Yes, it actually has a higher CCA than the original battery.
