Default I don't know much about batteries.
I frequently have to start my car in sub-zero temps after it sitting for 12 hours. I know I want big CCA, and that's about it.

Default Great
Yeah, when it's really cold every once in a while a cylinder will get too much fuel. Not a big deal. It's happened maybe three or four times ever.

Ah. Replaced your injector o-rings recently? That resolved my fuel issues.

Default Yes, about a year ago. It's just an uber-cold issue. I've learned to......
......floor it as I'm turning the key. Last weekend in Summit County it ran at 200 rpm (srsly) for probably four seconds with my foot on the floor. After that it finally started to rev like it should.

Default get the 925 or the 15 lb Braille. anything lighter/less cranking, is too small, imo.
I've had to jump my 680 more times that I"d like, but I've had it for almost 3 years.

Default go with the small one ...
just always park on a hill so you can get a rolling start unless you have an auto..

good choice. it's still half the weight and plenty of cranking power.
