Electrical.......Battery

[R W]

My Genesis runs with a 12 volt, 450 amp battery. Would it harm the system to put a larger capacity battery in as a replacement? I was thinking of 600 plus amps cranking power. Powerclean is already closed for the day, so I thought I might pick the TM mechanics brains here.

Won't hurt, the more the better, you can't have too many amps only too many volts.

Going larger is never a problem.

that's what she said.

Yes, as several board members here have stated, a 600 amp battery is perfectly fine for that unit.

Thanks, all. I figured I better get a new battery in before I need it.

You may consider ill effects on the charging system, the manufacturer can let you know what is safe and what is not. Could be a life shortener on the alternator regulator etc.

NAW....cold cranking amps jus determines how long you can grind a starter till it finally goes dED!

It's 12 VOLT!
