anemic battery

[Soundguy]

Thanks, then that answers my question.. I -AM- trying to use an anemic battery.. or at least one a bit weak for the job.

I think I saw some 31P ( post ) on the rack at work. I'll have to put a tape measure to one and see if I do indeed have the room under the hood.

That 27F is darn tall and I actually use a rubber truck mudflap as a shield between it and the hood as it probably only has 1/4" clearance.

It was a zoo at my place too.. Animals were finding a hole in the fence between pastures.. so when i got of fmy day job I had to repair and put up fencing for 3 hours.. then come home and take care of some more animals. I'm pooped and I think it's time for some advil!

thanks for the info.. boils down to a not-to-good fit of a battery that napa crossed for me.

I just googled the 7527f from the napa site and came up with these specs... shazam.. more like 675 cca!! dang!.. no wonder the 4dlt was whipping it's but.

Battery BCI #: 27F
Battery CA @ 32 Degrees F: 820
Battery CCA @ 0 Degrees F: 675
Battery Height: 9"
Battery Length: 12 3/8"
Battery Posts Type: Top Post
Battery Reserve Capacity: 120
Battery Voltage: 12 volt
Battery Weight: 45 lbs.
Battery Width: 6 3/4"
Wet or Dry: Wet


thanks

I can't say who suppleis napa or our local dealer batteries. Our local napa won't give out that info, and I've never asked the dealer.

If you get that group # let me know, I'll see what interstate battery that crosses to. The GC I work for is a interstate dealer. I'll see if the interstate battery also crosses to the napa battery. Napa might have geiven me the wrong battery?

One of the guys at work wrorked for east penn / deka and said they did some of NAPA's batterys

It's looking like it is very regional as to who makes nappa batteries.

Here's some info on various NH batteries:

F770 Group 31 950CCA
F565 Group 27F 700CCA
F865 Group 30R 800CCA

Your 7610S calls for the F865 battery. Its dmensions are 13" L x 6-15/16" W x 9-5/8" H.

First glance says the group 31 has more CCA's in a slightly smaller package. But if I remember correctly, the F865 has the posts along one side rather than in the center as the F770 does. This WILL affect your hood clearance. We don't have an F865 in stock right now to verify this. The group 31 batt probably won't fit under your hood.

the 27f I have in there now has the posts along one side. I looked at a interstate grp 31 yesterday and the posts are down the middle. i measured it, and i think the 31 will be a hard fit under the hood as you mention. the 27f is already tight as it is. Boy.. big difference in cca.

I'll know more in a couple weeks. I've pulel dthe bat out to charge.. just havn't got around to it.. got a few other projects onthe bench right now, and i'm working doubles all weekend.

will see how the bat works out.

Soundguy, I have a 2007 Exide battery catalog on my hard drive, shows 7610 1984-1996 use 4DLT, minimum required CCA is 750.

27F is 12-1/2" L x 6-3/4" W x 8-3/4" H, ~ 700 CCA

4DLT is 19-7/8" L x 6-3/4" W x 8" H, ~ 820 CCA

31 is 9-5/16" high (and terminals down middle), ~ 925 CCA

If the tray is big enough for 4DLT, it is 3/4" shorter than the 27F you have in there now. (As you know, 27F has terminals on the long side of bat and 4DLT has on the end.) If you are out of vertical space with 27F, 31 is even taller as you already saw.

the 7610s is a different machine than the 7610.. and no way a 4dlt would come close to fitting up there unfortunately..

Sorry, did not know that and they only listed the 7610 (no suffix).

Soundguy, trying to atone for lack of specific tractor knowledge.... ;-)

A Group 49 battery may work for you if the tray can take a battery about 1-1/2" wider than the 27F in there now. Note that the + and - terminals are backwards from the 27F:

49: 14" L x 6-7/8" W x 7-7/16" H ~ 850 CCA

27F: 12-1/2" L x 6-3/4" W x 8-3/4" H, ~ 700 CCA

When I converted my 4000 to diesel, I used a Group 65 which is short enough to clear the hood. 1000CA; 850CCA in New Holland's version part number F800. Most often seen under the hood of Fords with the 7.3L PowerStroke diesel. 12.1"x 7.5" x 7.6" with posts along the side.
