I have a 2012 NH L220 SSL that I bought new at that time, & I need a new 12-volt battery. The existing one (the original CNH one) seems to have gotten too weak to start the machine, despite being "fully charged" by a battery tender. I may have damaged it by fully discharging it several times (long story), or it may have been slightly defective even when new. Either way, it's outside its warranty.
I have had great luck with Optima Red Top AGM batteries in my 12-volt diesel utility tractor, & in my NH EH80 excavator (2 hooked in series for the 24-volt system), but Optima does not seem to make a model that fits the requirements of my SSL, namely:
Based on my Optima experience, I would prefer a AGM type battery (their vibration resistance is a plus). But I can't find any that offer 1,000 CCA, except a DieHard Platinum Marine Battery 31M, which offers 1,150 CCA, at $280. But I found mixed reviews of it, & it doesn't ship to any of the 6 or so Sears locations near me, so I'm at a loss as to how to buy it even if I wanted it.
Interstate has their 31-AGM7 battery, but it has only 810 CCA, & is over $300.
It seems that my best choice is to go back to the CNH replacement battery (BNH31TW) from my dealer, for about $150, but it's a conventional wet battery.
What would you guys recommend?? Quick...winter is comin' on, & I need to rely on this machine starting...
