-> You may find that in the case where there's a 35 in there you have room for a
-> 24F.  And where the 75 is,  it may fit a 78.  It's only needing one additional
-> inch,  after all.  Me,  I kind of prefer to go with the biggest physical case
-> that will fit in there.  The reasoning beind that is that to stuff similar
-> capacities into smaller boxes they have to make the plates thinner,  which is
-> going to make it somewhat less rugged over the life of the battery.  That's why
-> I had a 31 in my old truck,  because it'd fit.    And the
truck I have now
-> has a 24 in it,  pulled out of a car I used to have and bought new for that
-> car.  I only need about 350CCA or so to start that motor,  and it's a 525,  so
-> I should get at least 5 - 6 years out of it,  especially considering that I
-> don't run that truck all that much.  When it comes time to replace that,  I'll
-> probably put a 27 in there (12 inches long) unless I can fit a 31 (13 inches
-> long)...

In the "Old Days" when I drove older and sometimes Harder Starting cars.
Not to mention ones with quite a bit bigger engines, Untill I got the
S10 PU with it's 4.3 L engine the biggest I have had since I had a Buick
V-8. Most have been between 1.6 and 2.4 L. Anyhow I liked to do the same
thing. I would measure up the space for the battery and carefully check
the charts and get the largest CCA battery I could squeeze in there.
