Does anyone know the recommended battery size to start a Universal 25 XPA? I would like to pick up a jump box to keep onboard and I found one with 425 cranking amps and I was wondering if that would be large enough to start a hot motor on a hot day?

Expect to be much lower than that. Like around 200 CCA.

Here is Maine Sail actually measuring it.


A good, really deep cycle house bank will work fine.

A charged up jump box will start 5 to 10 cars. It'll start your diesel alright.
