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.
