[Healeys] Battery Cold Crank Amps

[insptwo at msn.com]

Mark:
You only have to worry about CCA if you are going to be doing a load of 
cranking on the starter without the engine turning over. A half decent 
battery at your parts store will do you fine, as long as you have a good 
generator to recharge the battery or a good charger in the garage. In the 
event that you are going to just start the car occasionally and not let it 
run very long, get a good automatic charger.
