Df 70 battery

[crawfmac]

Just purchased a 2nd hand DF 70 for my 5m Osprey RIB. Had a DT 65 on it before and wondered about changing battery as 5-6 years old. What amps should I be looking at for a new battery?

There was a thread a couple of weeks ago on s 30 hp that evidently calls for a 500 CCA battery
Batteries 5-6 years old become suspect
Seems regardless of usage -age determines how long they work
A good marine parts store should be able to give you some advice as well
My experience is get the best battery - you don't want to go cheap on the battery
