Battery Size for YM2210?

[CoyPatton]

So your still telling me that old Honda batter they used in the 90s maybe even still today I haven't been in parts biz in almost 20 years. But it was like 1.5 times the size of a lawnmower battery. Your telling me that little battery has as much stored power as a group 27 battery? I agree if engineered for higher cranking amps it could have them but no way it could produce them very long in that tiny case with such small amount of lead.

I am not one saying that we need 900cca for these small tractors just cause you can buy a better that produces it. These are small engines and not giant displacement engines that need much. Any size automotive battery will start them.

You sir are putting words in my mouth I never said.
1st I would not trust a battery from the 90’s as far as I could throw it!
And to base all you say on info from over 20 years ago on today’s batteries, does disservice to everyone but no one anymore than yourself.
But if you sold batteries 20 years ago, you should know that size is typically determined by what fits the vehicle. That of course refers to cranking amps as well as physically size. But you can also find batteries in the same physical size in todays market that have differing cca. And a larger physical battery has little to do with the amount of lead (at least in the automotive battery line). Weight would be a much better criteria.
But hey you believe what you want just quit misleading people with 20 yr old info in this day!

Oh brother. I'm not saying use a 20 year old battery. The size batteries sold today have been around for decades. Sure every now and then a new size pops up but most of them have been around for years. Ford used the same size battery for I think 50 years I know they used it into the 00s. Toyota has been using the same size battery as well for decades. GM yep they been useing that same side post battery for decades as well. That said. I'm not saying find a 20 year old battery and use it but just that the case size has been around for decades and so have the cca that those size produce. I don't remember that group size that was the common ford one. But they were always specked at 550cca. They were that way in the 80s 90s and 00s . I would agree though the quality of battery today vs the 80s is much better for the same group size battery.
