OE Cold Cranking Amps

Does anyone know the OE Cold Cranking Amps for a 93 Maxima. I bought the car about 6 months ago and it has a small battery in it, and recently it has been having trouble turining over at times. I had the battery checked, and it was still good, but the guy who tested it said it was too small for the car which was my problem. It has a 450 CCA battery now and one person said the OE was 410 CCA, another said 830 CCA, and everything in between. Can someone please help. This is the GXE model.

Thanks,
Kristian

Just in case I missed it, I did perform a search for answers to my question and was not able to find one in this forum or any other websites. Just wanted to let everyone know I have tried to find out before posting.

410 seems alittle small, but 830 seems alitle big.

for reference, I put a 850cca battery in my old 93, just standard one from costco, IIRC, the stocker was more like 650cca's

I don't think you can ever have a battery with too much CCA. The higher the better. Higher cranking amps battery are usually larger in size compared to lesser cranking amps batteries, unless you're dealing with a dry cell battery. Get the biggest battery your wallet can afford just as long as it fits in the tray and bolts/secure down properly. Persoanlly I'm a Sears man when it comes to battery. Warranties are easy with or without a receipt, and they're nation wide. But to answer your original question, no I dont know what the OE cranking amps are.
