Kent,
   Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear...and I had a typo. Here's the page for the battery manufacturer I'm looking at: http://www.usbattery.com/6vautocm.htm

   Based on measuring the existing battery, I need the BCI Group Size 4. In this size there are two different batteries. One has 860CCA / 1050CA, the other has 1000CCA / 1220CA. Both have the same dimensions...I just didn't know which one fits the CCKW starting system better.

Thanks,
Brian Mead

> Brian,

You're not comparing apples to apples. A battery can be rated any
number of ways, a couple of the more popular is 'Cranking Amps' and
'Cold Cranking Amps'. CA (Cranking Amps) is measured at 32F and CCA
(Cold Cranking Amps) is measured at 0F. So, you are looking at one
battery with 1050CA and the other is 1220CCA.

the manuals this week, but wanted to know which battery to get. There's a
company which offers two different batteries in the size I need. One has
1050 CCA at 32 degrees, the other has 1220 CCA. Which should I
get...generally I think more is better, just wanted to make sure.
