What is the right battery to go with a 140 amp alternator?
2 Answers
what do you mean when you think the battery isn't holding up?
Any 12 volt car battery will work, but I would recommend getting a decent quality one with at least 650 to 700 cold cranking amps. But those cold cranking amps are more critical in cold places, so if you live in a state with mild winters it wont be as important. A decent 12 volt car battery now a days can run from 50 to 70 dollars or more for the fancy ones.

Good luck hope this helps.
