Re: [Chrysler300] Battery size?

["Warren Anderson" <wranderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have preferred to use the Group 27 battery in Chrysler applications that would readily accept other than a Group 24 battery. Most Chrysler products, back in the day, would accept the larger case battery with no problem. 

Be aware that the designation 27R for reverse terminals (polarity of terminals in case reversed from Group 27 configuration) is the current Group designation as battery is OE for some Toyotas also and there are other 'R" terminal batteries (that makes stocking batteries costly).

  Roger,

  The group 27 identification identifies size as well as post location. The
  group 27F is the same battery, BUT the posts are reversed, and there is a
  flange on the case bottom to accept a hold down bracket, it is used in Ford
  applications. The 27F will work, but you have to rotate the battery and the
  posts end up being close to the inner fender and the cables have to be
  stretched to fit. Not the way to go.

  Be certain to be aware of negative and positive post locations.

  Jeff,

  Your car came new with a group 27, 12 volt battery that measures
  approximately 12" L x 6-3/4" W x 9" H to top of post. Any 12 volt group 27
  size will fit. The higher the CCA rating, the better for cranking
  performance. Other factors to consider are appearance, maintenance, cost
  and availability. Those you have to decide on, there's a lot out there to
  choose from, it can be as simple as going to your local parts store and
  getting something that will work fine but not look original, or paying
  $250.00 for an original looking specimen. Some folks prefer Optima
  batteries for reduced maintenance. You decide.

  Hi everybody,
  What size battery is suggested for a 413 L engine? The battery in it is CCA
  525.
  I was thinking of getting a bigger battery as this old battery doesn't last
  long using accessories before its dead. The bigger battery I am considering
  is CCA 600 - would this be better suited with more punch for the mighty 413?
  I cannot find any info in my Manuel?
  Cheers
  Jeff
