STICK_SAVE 5 #1 Posted April 14 HI What size battery is recommended for a 62 702. Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,387 #2 Posted April 14 Welcome!! Nice to see another Rouge-Islander!! A standard U1 (or U1-R) will be fine - depends which corner the positive lug is in.... Try to get something with 360 or more CCA. TSC, Wallyworld, etc. And - pick one with the newest mfg'd date.... Bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,743 #3 Posted April 14 (edited) The older horses used a bigger battery box The U1 will need fillers The originally had full size car batteries I know 22NF fits i think some 51 do also More expensive but the last longer....
