SickDrift Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I need to know what the specs are on the original 620 battery. What CA's and CCA are minimum? I just purchased an Interstate with 440 cca's and 525 ca's, will this be sufficient? Laurence Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 that sounds like whats in my 73 620. should be more than enough for sturning that small truck over. unless you have a high comp otor of course. but since you said stock, that should bo good to go. Quote Link to comment

I wont be hurtin on CCA's for sure:) Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I don't think you can find batteries with the specs of the original, but it was a lot less than the 500s you have there (probably under 300). I still remember my folks having to add water to the batteries in their 620 and their Toyota in the early 80s, and each cell had a single cap. Checked the electrolyte with that little float-type tester. Checked antifreeze that way too. Does anyone still do that? Quote Link to comment

I have overdone it now with the battery as it is an Interstate MT-34 with 700 CCA's. Atleast I'll never have it be an issue. I did call a local battery place and they suggested the mt-24, which is 100 CCA's less, but my friend only had the 34 in stock. Either way, I paid like 40 less because it's my friends shop.;) Quote Link to comment
