toolcat battery and 4 wheel steer

[laurencen]

with the temperature here at -30C my toolcat is not starting, the block heater is working but will not crank, the battery was new 2016 bobcat brand, charged it and testing the CCA is 425Amps, what should this battery put out? boosting it starts no problem

secondly, 4 wheel steer is not aligned, with the indicator lights on front and rear it turns to the left, how is the sensor adjusted?

thanks for any comments

My G series manual says 600 CCA @ -18c (0F)

Online parts says 650cca standard and 1000cca opt

figured it was low for amps, this will be the second Bobcat brand battery that has just died in cold temperatures, this one is less than 2 years old, the last one lasted 2 1/2 years, time to look at another brand

thanks

AWS indicator lights require a dealer visit for steering sensor calibration. Are you saying the battery goes dead after letting it sit ?? sounds like a parasitic draw. will it crank with a charged battery? :confused3:

the unit will cycle the glow plugs, when the key is turned to crank I get maybe 2 turns of the motor and all power goes out for a few seconds, using cables it fires right up, testing the battery outside it reads 400 to 425CCA, had it inside overnight and charged it, right off the charger its reading 600CCA will check it later today, it will crank with a charged battery just not this one after sitting in the cold

My diesel deere garden tractor calls for a 500cca battery.

try a Deka or Interstate battery instead!..

update, battery in the shop charged fully tests 630CCA, put it outside at minus 35C overnight and tests 375CCA, off for a new battery this morning
