Line your battery box with polystyrene if yours is just suffering from the cold. Helps a lot. I used thick closed cell foam in my last landy and I can tell the difference this time around. It doesn't start instantly but seems a little sluggish from what I'm used to. I'm running a huge military truck battery though so it won't die anytime soon lol

I'd say that's not high enough CCA.
It will work, but much earlier than would a bigger crank amps battery it will not cope in the cold.

I've just put the biggest yellow-top Optima that I could get in mine a s the main battery + an uprated alternator. The second battery is an almost new 'ordinary' battery which I bought for a BMW 735i a week before the thing went to the scrapper. It's doing the job, but I'll replace it with another yellow top when it gives up the ghost.
