Battery Question

Breaker 1-9, anybody got a copy? Any discussion or mods relating to electrons and wires go here.

My wife's Bravada is in need of a new battery. I know there are a few folks running second batteries in the rear for extras. She currently has an AC Delco that is showing 403/600 cca according to the test. Is it worth saving this battery for future use?

If it's not good enough to start a vehicle, it's not good enough to depend on for much...

Having said that, I put the "not quite good enough to crank over my Cummins after running the grid heaters at 10F" group-31 battery in the back of my truck and charged it every once in a while, and used it to run an ATV winch to pull cars up on a trailer, as well as running my MV50 air pump to pump trailer tires up and stuff...
