Replacing battery, don't know how many AH

So I bought a new battery for my car (Duralast H6-DLG), but it doesn't specify how many AH it is and I could not find any information online. Anyone know how I can find out? I cant code it to the car without the AH right?

This can be really really useful. That'd be a great sticky for most common batteries from Autozone or Advance that don't post their Ah.

genraly group 49/H8 battery's have the right number of amp
hours for anything . H8 runs in the 90 to 110 amp hour range.
Also are we talking Lead Acid or AGM.
Putting the right battery in these can be a major project.

You have to dig for the amp hours on most battery's now or
run the conversion equation from reserve capacity to amp hours.

so I looked up the specs
115 is reserve capacity for the particular battery
which means the other estimate of 60 to 70 amp hours is more
correct.

My apologies, I stand corrected and looked at the wrong rating. Yes, 70 ah.

910ca, 730cca, 115 rc, 70 ah.

Manufactured by Johnson Controls.

Flame suit on.
