Kioti service manual specifies a batt. cranking 630 amps at 0 deg. F.
Wish I had read that *before* i went to AutoZone today. They sold me a batt. rated 575 amps, and 715 amps at 32 deg. F.
Wanted to ask you kind folks if you think that's enough batt. or should I exchange it. Haven't installed it yet; still in the truck.
Weather here very rarely drops to 0 deg. and if it ever does, I doubt I'll be out on the tractor.
Makes me sound like a lightweight to you Yankees but keep in mind they close the interstates down here whenever someone spills a glass of ice cubes.
I don't mind going back into town to get a fatter batt. but thought I'd check with y'all to see if I really need to.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
