Can anybody tell me what battery the Max IV has in it? Is it a 6 or 12 volt? A major brand number would be greatly appreciated so I can cross-reference it. Thanks much. Ron

it should use a lawn and garden battery. there are usually two different ones i think. one has a higher cold cranking amps than the other one. its a 12 volt.they both should fit. measure the approximate size of your battery box then check out those lawn and garden tractor batteries.

12 volts, deep cycle marine batteries are the best to use.

I tried a lawn and garden battery from wal-mart, guess what it was a 6-volt!!! Same as size as the one that was in it. Back to the drawing board. Ron

12 volts. Autozone has the size you need. They have 2 kinds, one is I think 220 CCA's and the onther is 425 CCA's. I am not sure of the CCA's but one is less then factory and the other has more then the factory batteries. They work great.

Do not use marine batteries for starting purposes, they are designed for low amperage draw and do not provide high enough cold cranking amps.Just because a marine battery is bigger and has a higher amp rating don't mean it will whip your engine over at - degree temps. Hope this helps. Eddie

ron when you retern the battery to wallmart get the 12v one, they have same size in 12v too!

Dave, a big problem I noticed with Wal-Mart is that it doesn't state anywhere on the battery what voltage they are!! Do you have any hints on how to tell. Thanks to everybody for the info.

Wal-Mart usually has a battery guide available in the auto section, either electronic display or good old paper. It should list the battery group name and the data on the battery including the voltage.

Count the cell caps(where you fill it with water) each hole is 2 volts. A 6 volt battery will have 3 holes, a 12 volt will have 6

Well fellas, I feel kinda of foolish about this but the first battery was probably alright cause I found I had a loose connection on the ground cable. Everythings working fine now. Thanks to all. Ron
