We =E2=80=9Cdiscovered=E2=80=9D that there are (at least) two sizes of start=
er motors available, 1.4 kW and 2.0 kW. The former from TRF and Moss, the la=
tter from Ted Schumacher. With a small battery the 2 kW motor starts the car=
much better, spinning it faster and, I think, ultimately with less energy d=
rain from the battery.=20
Being a Yankee, I use a 450 cca lawn tractor battery. I would need a booster=
battery to start the car when cold using the 1.4 kW motor, but with the 2kW=
motor it cranks right up without a booster, all else being the same.
Bottom line, when choosing a battery, consider the whole system.
