Learn what cold cranking amps are and how they help you to estimate how well your vehicle battery will perform in cold weather.
The testing for this standard is done at -15°C, but the test is run with 150A or 300A (depending on the size of the battery) at 10s or 30s to 6 Volts. This is a good standard to evaluate the battery but does not yield true Cold Cranking Amps. All the standards mentioned in ...
What Is CCA On A Motorcycle Battery?In the Cranking Amp versus Cold Cranking Amp Part 1 blog, we covered the basics centered around what Cranking Amps (CA) and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) are and what that means in the automotive world. Now you may be wondering how these metrics, and the...
This classification helps you identify the correct battery size for your vehicle, whether you're searching online or consulting your car's manual. However, the BCI Group size is just the beginning. You also need to consider the power demands of your vehicle, including cold-cranking amps (CCAs...
Battery Ratings A car battery typically has two ratings: CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) - The number of amps that the battery can produce at 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) for 30 seconds while keeping its voltage above 7.2 volts RC (Reserve Capacity) - The number of minutes that the battery ca...
Q: How long does it take to recharge the battery after starting the engine?A: Not very long. This is not too hard to estimate. Typical 12 volt car batteries are rated for cold cranking amps, and the one I use has 800 CCA. So being very very conservative lets assume that it takes ...
auxiliary power is increasing as car models get updated. A recently developed instrument called the Cadex CA-12 can read reserve capacity, cold cranking amps and state-of-charge. Gaining such information gives drivers and battery technicians a better way of determining the time to replace ...
