Actually, the battery doesn't run most stuff, the alternator does. The battery starts the car, and acts like a leveling capacitor for the alternator. Only if you draw more power than the alternator is generating at a given time does the battery kick in.
And that is 130CCA at 0degrees, or probably about 160 CA, or 200 HCA. More than enough to help out the alternator as needed.
The gotcha is really the 6AH. That means you can't have much power draw while the ignition is off. Also might be an issue with the headlights on at idle, especially with an underdrive pulley.
This battery is for hard core weight savings. There are 8 pound and larger options with 200+CCA, etc.
