Fred et. al.,-

High current capacity won't make any measureable difference at all.  The
current is set by the resistance the battery "sees" and the voltage at its
terminals, since the starter and lead resistance is usually MUCH greater than
the internal resistance of the battery.

What it WILL let you do it crank for a long, long time.  Perhaps that is a
much needed characteristic of our dear Morgans.  :-)
