Hi everyone,
 I'm off to costco to buy a new battery, however, they have my group
size and everything, BUT the label indicates that the cold cranking
amps are about 200 higher than the book says my care requires.  Does
the CCA number matter as long as it is higher than what the car
requires?

Thanks.

Bigger is better.

No, it doesn't matter (and the larger the CCA the better of you are).

The battery FAQ.  More info than you ever wanted.  Check 7.8.3 for why
you don't want to go WAY high, but some high is ok.  It's not just me
sayin' it...
