Battery Ratings
The battery specification label contains useful information for servicing the battery. The information includes test ratings, original equipment and recommended replacement part numbers.The battery has two ratings: Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA) and Reserve Capacity.
- Cold Cranking Amperage indicates the battery's ability to crank the engine during cold temperatures.
- The CCA rating is the minimum amperage the battery must maintain for 30 seconds at -18°C (0°F), while staying above 7.2 volts.
- The actual performance of the battery varies with temperature, electrical load, and the condition of the vehicle's electrical condition.
