Correct Battery for 530 Diesel (531)

Lee Brown · Nov 26, 2018

Hello! I have a Case 530 with the 188 Diesel (531) and the battery in it is weak. I went to NAPA to get a replacement, but they don't have the manual to look up the correct battery. Can anyone please tell me what size and/or the number of CCAs I need for this tractor? Also, any recommendations on brand are also appreciated!

About a year ago I bought a battery for my 431 diesel with the 188 engine. The battery was an Interstate MTP24, cold cranking power was 800.
This should work in your tractor.

The originals were 2 6 volts hooked in series. They are still available but pricey. I may have the correct number somewhere in the shop, but would have to look for it. Most owners have substituted one 12 volt instead of the 2 six volts. If no one chimes in with a number, carefully measure the battery tray and lid and buy to fit.

The later 570 went to one 12 volt battery and I think it is a group 30. That is what I would do.
