Re: Battery Amps
Seems an odd question to me.
The only amps I would be interested in are the CCA or Cold Cranking Amps.
The starter draws a huge current and when the ignition is turned on my Ammeter flicks to 40 amps, turning the starter motor and the ammeter swings to 60 amps.
Code 067 and 096 provide more than enough CCA to cover this requirement
