LT2700 Silver Eagle battery

[MParr]

A 300 CCA battery of most any brand will work. Keeping it changed and the electrolyte level full are the best practices for battery life. Get you a trickle charger and hook it up when your mower is not in use. A trickle charger is cheaper than buying batteries once a year.

I have a Silver Eagle LT 2700 and it calls for a 430 cc amp mower battery special noticed it states do not JUMP START YOU WILL BLOW OUT THE DIDOES

Your battery needs to have 400 cranking amps

On a lawn mower engine that draws what 50-75 amps max?

Cranking amps mean nothing. It will either start or not. Cranking amps is mostly a sales gimmick.

CC=Cranking amps, CCa= Cold cranking amps. They do mean something. It is a rating of the battery to deliver amps and has a value to its depth of capability. Every battery manufacturer rates the battery either CCA or CA or both. Most low class riders have engines with cheaper starters and internal decompression systems and will require no more than a 350 CCA battery or less. With out this decompression and a bigger starter to crank past top dead center, a bigger battery is needed.

Two things to consider are CCA or CA and reserve capacity. Both of which decline as battery ages and internal resistance goes up. I have a lithium ion jump pack that will fit in a hip pocket that puts out close to 600 amps and will start any mower and most small cars with a dead battery but it has very little reserve capacity. Great for starting but not continuous use. If you need 300 amps to start the engine and you have a 300 amp battery all is good but when the battery ages and now is only putting out something like 220 amps the engine may not start. If you had the $15 more 400 amp battery as it ages you will get more useful life from the battery. I always buy the highest capacity battery i can.

You are right. The lower CCA batteries may turn the engine over but not fast enough for it to start like it should. The 27 Hp Generac turns over hard and it needs a higher CCA battery. Even though a battery has 12 volts it is the amps that does the work.

Not enough room tight as it is. Too high and 3 months free replacement on their LM Battery. Ours are $50.00 and 6 moths free replacement.
