    Best battery for 1700 xflow

    Hi thinking about getting a new battery to cope with hi comp xflow.iv got hi torque starter but sometimes it just clicks then suddenly turns over not fast tho. Is there a good battery anyone can recommend with flat terminals etc.would running another earth from sterter bolt on bellhousing to engine or chassis help with things? Thanks for any help

    Whatever you find you need the CCA rating to be at least 650 - 700+ amps. I've got an Odyssey with 730 CCA but that has round posts. Unless the existing earth strap is getting hot, an additional cable won't make any difference.

    Crucial is that the connections between cable and terminal are spot on.
    Even a small resistance in that connection influences max. starting amps.
