There's no need for all that with a 60A. only a ~$100/3lb difference between the two.

Some have no problem running a 40A. May not be an issue when the battery is brand new, but the smaller CCA may be an issue later down the road after the cells age, the peace of mind with a higher CCA is worth it for me.
