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.
