C.Sanchez.A Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 Ok, the battery for my '94 Mazda B3000 just quit on me. I will admit I am a complete noob/idiot when it comes to the information on batteries. What should I look for in a new battery? I am unable to get XS batteries, so don't even suggest it! I just need to know what to look for to get a good battery for under the hood, that will be a good start for my next build.

C.Sanchez.A Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Posted December 18, 2011 I appreciate the impute on witch battery to get, but I want to know the info from them. what are there ratings? I am very limited in battery selection and want to know the rating so I can compare different battery companies. I hope that made sense.
