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

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.

(1) - DO NOT attempt to charge a frozen battery. Allow battery

to warm thoroughly and then performance-test. If battery

fails performance test, require replacement.

(2) - No service suggested or required unless the battery fails

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

of part.
