First off they came with two 6 volts and if they are of the 650 amp size that should be enough . Now if the injecton pump is in good shape and the cranking pressure is correct and the injectors are crackin at the correct pressure and the timming is correct and the engine has good compression then it should start cold down to around freezing . Now the COLD start is not on the throttel it is in with the shutdown cable and it works when the shutdown is placed HALF WAY between run and stop . THe stock ground cable is one of them flat braided ones and is fine the pos termianal of 00 is fine . If you want you can get away with one Group 31 battery of around 1000 cca . But this is a diesel and it is not going to start like a gasser when it gets cold . You will have to have a block heater on it and throw away you either can or you will end up killing the engine if you have not already knocked the rings out of it . You can not believe how many engines that i have tore down to find two or three pice rings in them from either.Now i am not tryen to be a smart aress here but you would be much better off with a gasser one heck of alot cheeper to fix and easier to work on and it will start anytime.
