Battery Size (cranking amps)

[BigDukeSix]

Greetings all and thanks for allowing me to post,

I just bought a 1985 Blazer and the battries are bad one is a 700 amp and the other is a 1000 amp, I want to replace them with new ones and was wondering what was standard issue size for this model.

Thanks,

BDS

oh is that per battery or total of both?

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Per battery.

Standard issue for the batteries are two 6TL's per cucv, each 6TL has 750cca. But I would recommend that you get batteries with ~1000cca each.

RE: battery size

Amazingly this past spring my local Advanced had two on the shelf. However we've got lots of farms around here so they keep a few on hand at all times.

RE: battery size

Would an Optima red top and yellow top be good for a duece?
