how many cold cranking amps does it have, i thought i read 170 but that's crazy most good ones have about 800 I noticed some answers to some other questions on this battery saying it is maybe to small for a car , but then why is it ranked #2 among all...

Yup, only 170 CCA. It is a great motorcycle battery; however if you need to start a car in cold weather this doesn't have enough power.

The startmonkey 200 is rated for use with 12V batteries up to 650 (CCA) cold crank amps, mostly fitted to vehicles with small to mid-sized gasoline engines. A 7.4 liter engine would be too heavy.

The startmonkey will start a car with a battery up to 650 cold crank amps (CCA) - which might be less than the battery fitted to a BMW 330cic. Check on your battery to be sure. If the battery is totally flat the startmonkey might not even recognize it as a battery! However, if less than 650 CCA, with some residual charge, you should be fine.

The battery provides typically 10-12amps, when the battery is running you are provided 14.8amps. Likely, it doesn't have a fuse, or isn't built with the best quality and would draw too many amps thus destroying it

This amp powered my 4 15s 1000rms with no problems. Got a little warm but most amps do. Had a 200 amp alternator and two yellowtop Batts with a big three upgrade.

i am using it for a 1979 sportster harley, the battery is great very light and powerful. lots of cold cranking amps. definitely worth the money.

I have noticed a difference when it is very cold, but it has always started my truck. If you live in a very cold climate, I would buy the red top battery. I wondered the same thing when I purchased this, but I live in Mississippi, so it's not usually that cold here.

I have doubts on this (or similar devices) being that reliable for jump-starting any car with a fully drained battery. The battery in this is about 20% the size/weight of most car batteries, so I don't expect but that much power out of them. Most manuals for these say things like "Don't try cranking the engine over 5 seconds or the battery will be damaged". The reason for that is because it's so small a battery and you're expecting so much power from it that cranking the engine seems like creating a short circuit (which could make the battery explode if kept in that state for over a minute). Although the sales people like to put the "400 amp" labels on these to make it seem big, I doubt you can really get 100 amps for cranking an engine. I've seen a fair number of reviews on units like this saying "It didn't work for me", so feel free to look at those (sometimes the negative reviews give more info than a "Works great" one where that's all they say). Also feel free to see my review of the Peak 1 450 jump starter (and that one has a 18 amp/hour battery, this one is only 5 amp/hour). I'm not trying to make you go after a brand (several brands sell virtually the same thing like Clore, Stanley, Black & Decker and more), but realize it's limitations since it's not a full size car battery.

I really like this fan a lot. It can use two sizes of battery. I have two of the smaller size. The fan runs about an hour on low with the smaller one. I think the correct way to classify the battery is by milli amp hours. The larger this number is the more capacity and longer lasting the battery will be.

From most people I hear in car audio, they say a second battery is not the way to go. Just puts more strain on the alternator. It's better to have 1 big battery, if anything just get a larger battery. I have 4 sets of 3 way components and 12" sub powered by 2 600rms amps. My voltage stays completely stable on a stock alternator with just one of these batteries. Rule of thumb is to take your amps combined RMS wattage and thats what you'll want in a battery.

This has an AGM battery that is 12V inside it, so yes it can be connected to another such battery (and it doesn't matter whether you're using it for "jumpstarting" a car or for adding time to how long a deep cycle battery will last, it does all of the above). Just beware that the battery inside this may not be as powerful as it's made to sound. It's actually rated "22 amp-hour" hinting it can supply 1 amp for 22 hours (at 12V), or 2 amps for 11 hours, or 3 amps for 7 hours, etc. Many deep cycle batteries (that are about the same size as a car battery) can supply 6 amps for 8 hours, so this is about 1/2 the power (and 1/2 the weight).

Cold Cranking Amps is 210. I got the LFX14L2-BS12 because my bike's motor has been pumped out - wanted more power for starting, the other one is the LFX09L2-BS12 listed for my bike and it only as 135 Cold Cranking Amps. You can go to Shoraipower.com to see for yourself. Hope this info helps ( :Here is a link to their two batteries they offer - go to Shoraipower.com http://shoraipower.com/products?action=vehicle&type;=175&make;=1057&model;=7940&year;=7940

I would suggest a good battery , I can't say how many amp as I didn't use an amp prob .It is slow but it lifted the driver front on a 1970 Ford Ranchero as a test.

I'm not an expert on these things but I read a lot of ratings for several different ones. The 1700 amps and reviewers are claiming they start bigger vehicles. It sounded like the most power I could get short of some professional models (professionals use ones like this, too). I don't know what you mean about auto charge. The older ones you had to watch charging but this one you can plug it in and leave it on. It was cheaper before Christmas, $109 something. It's just too heavy and clumsy for me. My son-in-law will love it with his bigger vehicles.
