Hi all, 

 

my battery decided to explode whilst on trickle charge (changer is in the bin!)

 

looking for a new battery, came across one with cca 540 (high cranking amps)

 

my old one only had 420 

 

is this going to pose an issue?? 

 

many thanks

No - as long as it is the same physical size and terminal orientation then the higher CCA just means it will have a bit more oomph to start the car.
