With either 6V or 12V,you want as much as possible.With 6V its a necessity.When you double voltage your amp load is cut in half,so a 6V starter that might need 500CA to start,would be 200-250CA at 12V.Bump that to 24V and the requirements half again.With a 6V battery you need 800-900 CCA,with 12V 600-800CCA.Be aware,there are 2 ratings....CA which is taken at 32 degrees F,and CCA which is at 0 degrees.Dont be fooled.The higher the amp rating,the more ooomph the battery has,and should generally last longer and be more pleasant to live with.Buy a cheapie with no power and it wont last the year.
