I've got a Telsta A28D bucket on a 2001 Ford F450. The hydraulics are powered by one big battery. I've crossed the current battery to a NAPA 7271 FT, a 1425 (@ 0 degrees F) CCA battery. 440 minute reserve capacity. This would appear to me to be a starting battery for commercial applications.
Would I be better off to look for some type of deep cycle for this application? Something similar to this? MK Battery | 12 Volt 200 AH Deep Cycle AGM RV & Marine Battery or this? http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/C...y-Marine-RV-Deep-Cycle/_/R-NBE8276_0353642380
For the money that these things cost, I'd rather not experiment and would like to get it right the first time. Current battery tested OK last fall and was on a trickle charge all winter, but it almost left me in the air yesterday without really a lot of use time on it.
I checked my Telsta service and parts manual over but no mention of battery size or type for these units is mentioned. If anyone with electrical knowledge of these types of applications could help me out I'd appreciate it.
