I am currently searching for a new battery for my 1997 Blazer. I need one with a little bit more power than the manufacturer's recommended size battery (At least I think I have the right size, the previous owners weren't very car savvy).

I need to know the recommended specs (I.E. Cranking Amps, ect) and a safe range of those numbers.

If it helps, The truck is stock, with upgraded audio (2 subs + 1 amp, 2 extra speakers) and top post terminals instead of the side terminals.


Thanks in advance!

 

Any place you go to get the battery will have a book which lists the size of battery you need by year and model. You can go one bigger as long as it fits in between the rad and fender. I went to Costco and got mine.
I recommend doing the http://www.s10forum.com/big-three-big-3-upgrade-how-to big 3 upgrade if your worried about power. Also a AD244 alternator is nice too.
