The bigger the better as long as it fits in your battery box.

Yeah, the price of batteries seems to have doubled in the past 6 months...
Just bought a newish one at the boneyard for my D.D.- $30. Hate doing that, but new ones were almost $170. $140 buys a lot of beer. Or other parts.

I used to tell people to 'buy batteries by weight' regardless of warranty. Batteries here in the states have turned into a mess

CCA means cold cranking apps, so the bigger the better, but most up here dont drive our mopars thru the winter.
Can Tire with a warranty.
