[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 32269, member: 307"] Most commercial battery are better made internally to withstand the vibration and bumps that equipment gets. Also car batterys are not designed to be charged for long periods of time (10 or 12 hours of running) where a commercial battery is. CCA is important but also don't forget reserve capacity, which is how many minutes the battery can sustain a 20 (I believe) amp load and maintain its voltage at a aceptable level. Your starter has to wait until the glow plugs have taken the first round at the battery. Too bad a group 31 won't fit in all bobcats, it was used in many older machines and often lasted 7 or 8 years. My 2000 LS 160 has the original group 31 NH battery in it still! Ken [/QUOTE]
