[DeTomaso] Cranking amps

[Pantdino]

I believe there was a recent Consumer Reports article that said CCA is a rubbish number and you should just look at Amp-Hours

Hi:
   I read the posts regarding the amount of cranking amps required to turn
   a V-8 but all the responses were about the capability of the battery to
   supply the current, but none addressed my question.
   However, I did a little more digging and this is what I found
   out:A [1]http://www.linnbenton.edu/auto/fall/electric/start_test.pdf
   Tests from this automobile college class experimentation lead to the
   following:A
   "8 cylinder gas -typically draws up to 250 amps."
   The college test also considered cold-started engines as well as
   overheated engines as likely drawing more current that what was
   discussed.A
   Thanks again,
   Cal #2428.
