Default Question about batteries?

A co-worker of mine has a brother that works at Braille Battery USA, and i might be able to get a sweet deal on one of their high end lithium-ion batteries but i dont know what specs my car requires. like volts, crank amps, cold crank amps,group,ect. so if u know what the min and/or max of the s2k is please let me know.

these bits of information might be right on the top of your current battery, especially the CCA(cold cranking amps).. most auto batteries are 12 volt

my battery isnt factory so i wasnt sure if I should go higher or lower with the CCA since I have the amplifier for my stereo system so I didnt know if going higher was bad or if there is a limit

i would not go lower but going a little higher should not do anything but help the car turn over easier. I have an OEM in my car so Ill see about getting the info and letting ou know what it says

i want to but it looks like I am not going to be able. I put aside some $ and something comes up. I am probably not going to be able to make the drive since I need mechanical work and tires, got to be safe and do not want to risk a dropped valve
