Group 41. This defines a size and an allowable CCA range.
Nowdays grp 41 batteries typically range between 600 and 700 CCA.
Reserve capacity (time of 25 A load) is about 100min. In
Europe they are instead rated in Ah. (Typ about 70Ah)


If buying a new battery most important thing is to make sure it's
fresh. Look at the date code. 8/A means Jan 98, 8/B Feb 98 etc.
Don't buy anything older than 6mo.
