When I was at Advanced Autozone, I was told that my battery CCA was 611, and the actual CCA of the battery is 700. Do I need to replace the battery? Thanks.

Why did you have it checked? How old is it. Did AutoZone say it was fine or on it’s last legs?

Apparently the stock battery is 600 cca so as long as you arent having problems you will probably be fine.

It wouldn’t start when I was leaving college but no problems since then.
