I just got an Interstate MT-48 at the Interstate distribution center in Vancouver. This size matches what was there. Usually I would get battery at my mechanic but they weren't open on Monday and the car need to be running before Tuesday.

*But* I just noticed the 47 size has higher CA and CCA. Then there's the 91 size which is physically the same size but also higher CA and CCA.

I can't find any specs on the internet for the minimum or official battery size for the 740. The 700s are new to me, my previous volvo was 240.

Seems like I should exchange what I got with one of the above. The 47 would have more room around sides for removing posts. 91 size has more juice overall and is only $10 more than size 48.

Kinda mundane subject, but I'd like some opinions. Thanks! DaN
