New battery for 240 - specs? 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be bthart on  Wed Jan 22 05:22 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Howdy. Time for a new battery for my '83 240 since it's cold out and it cranks too slowly to start. So when I go to WalMart, their books don't list a battery type for me. So I was wondering, what are the specs for the battery? With 5000 batteries on the shelf, what's the difference between them? Is it just size, so that it fits in the compartment? Which one is for me? Is there a minimum cranking-amps spec that is different for all the different types of cars out there?

Thanks,

Brian
