    most batteries are big these days.

    my 2012 chevy cruz has a 900 amp 750cca battery. and the lable on the alternator says 150 amps.

    my 97 chev cavalier has a 750 amp battery. with a 130 amp alternator.

    I just purchased a 2011 Freightliner Cascadia DD15 and I replaced 2 out of the 4 batteries and my starter was changed last June. Now my truck cranks but if I turn it off i have to push clutch and sometimes featther the key to crank it. Could my clutch switch be out?
