BATTERIES
Proper operation of any electrical system or component can be
affected by battery condition. The battery(ies) must meet or exceed

minimum specification for vehicle as equipped and test to that
specific battery's CCA.
Definition of Terms
* Battery Performance Testing
Testing that determines whether or not a battery meets both
vehicle OEM and battery manufacturer's specifications.
* Cold Cranking Amp (CCA) Rating
The number of amperes a new, fully charged battery at
0
 F (-17.8 C) can deliver for 30 seconds and maintain at
least a voltage of 1.2 volts per cell (7.2 volts for a
12-volt battery).
* Cranking Amps (CA)
The number of amperes a new, fully charged battery, typically
at 32
 F (0 C) can deliver for 30 seconds and maintain at
least a voltage of 1.2 volts per cell (7.2 volts for a
12-volt battery).
* OEM Cranking Amps
The minimum CCA required by the original vehicle manufacturer
for a specific vehicle.

performance test, in which case, require replacement.
( 3) - This phrase refers to a battery that fails to either
accept and/or retain a charge using appropriate times
listed in the Battery Charging Guide of the BCI Service
Manual, battery charger operating manual, or battery
manufacturer's specifications.
( 4) - Determine cause of low fluid level. Refill to proper
level(s) with water (distilled water preferred). Recharge
battery and performance-test. If battery does not meet
specifications, require replacement. If battery is sealed
type (non-removable filler caps), require replacement.
( 5) - The battery may meet battery manufacturer's specifications
but test below the minimum specification defined by the
vehicle's OEM for that vehicle.
( 6) - Determine cause and correct prior to repair or replacement
