I have bought DEKA AGM 1400 CCA  that came off the shelf testing 1600cca. I think those #'s are advertising...
or minimums from the legal department.
used topay 160$ for NAPA 8d's retail jobber was less....
I think the good old days are gone :(

Just wondering how you are testing the CCA?

A carbon pile tester works the best for testing CCA

A few 1500 watt electric heaters connected together will work for the larger ones.

I was gonna say batts too. My 102 has this exact behavior as the one of the batts was dying. Glad you're all set Derrick

my cat is a bitch to start . the first revolution always sounds like it will never start ( sloooow ) then it moves faster and its running . it has never not started yet but it does this every time when the engine is cold . when its warm it starts fine . this is with 4  x 31 cat batteries that are 26 months old . I do have a 400 amp boost switch so I can use the house batteries            
 ( 660 amps ) to help . hope I never need to use it  but it is there if I need it
