When ever you pick a replacement which is not a drop in, expect to do modification(s).

You will need to adapt hold-down (easier when you are down-sizing), and the reach of the leads (may need new leads when you down size).

The cca (cold cranking amps) is the number to compare. The peak and instantaneous are just hype numbers.

cca looks good for Braille.

Or you could go on a diet. I lost about 30 pounds in the past 2 years
