Author Topic: Batteries Monte ¯ Member # 7536 posted                              I'm leaning towards the die hard platinum myself! -------------------- 97 Cobra Convertible Posts: 606 | From: San Leandro | Registered: Mar 2007  |  : BULLITTMAN ¯ Member # 8468 posted                              Thanks for the feedback guys. So I started calling around and found out that sears does not have a diehard platinum in my size battery which is group 59. I called Ford and the motorcraft max is a standard 540 cca and 2 year warranty. Sears has the silver with a 3 year warranty and 590 cca. My question is there a size 59 battery out there that has a higher CCA rating? Or can I fit a different size battery in my stock tray? Please let me know.

New edge Mustangs are very limited in space for larger batteries so I wasn't able to get a Diehard platinum. They don't come in the Group 59 size and the highest CCA's this size offers is 590. The best Sears had to offer was a Silver which only had a 2 year replacement warranty and 590 CCAs. I ended up getting a Duralast Gold which is a Group 58 battery and it's the same physical size as the 59 but it carries more CCAs. It has 610 CCA and has a 3 year replacement warranty. The diehard gold it replaced only had 590. I know it's not a huge difference but every amp counts. -------------------- R.I.P Little Bro Willie Guzman (5LTRSVT) 4/24/87 - 11/23/12 01 Bullitt #3102 Stroked and blown Built and tuned by Shaun at AED 14 Fiesta ST Posts: 1354 | From: San Jose | Registered: Jun 2008  |  :
