Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior battery

The past few days my car hasn't been turning over as quickley. My car is about 5 years old and still has the factory battery in it. I have one amp. My guess was that the battery is starting to go...what do you guys think? And what are some good battaries that have a little more ampers than the stock?

ANy battery with at least 150 to 170 cold crankin amps aill last 4eva.. Also your car will be more powerful. I have 160 cold crank amps and my car starts at the slightest twist of the key. A ford F350 can run off of a 150 cold crank amps. Imagine what it can do for your celica. WOW I paid about $85 @ walmart

!

- Batteries are cheap, pick yourself up a fresh one.
- Have the electrodes in your starter replaced. Its an inexpensive improvement.
- Attach a large ground strap from your battery negative to the vehicle & the engine.

Then she will turn over good.

160 cold cranking amps? Up here in canada we buy 1000 cold cranking amps.

This is crazy!

so, what are some good brands besides Optima? I know Interstate, DieHard what are some others? How many cranking amps are the factory batteries in the Celica? How much are batteries with 170 cranking amps?

Stock is probably about 600 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps).

Here is one that is 950 CCA for $180CDN:


Here is one that is 1000 CCA for $130CDN:


Here is the Optima at 800 CCA for $220CDN:
