Cold Cranking Ampere (CCA): Cold Cranking Amps is a rating used
in the battery industry to define a battery's ability to start an
engine in cold temperatures.
|
– |
The rating is the number of amps a new, fully charged battery
can deliver at -18 °C(-0.4 °F) for 30 seconds, while maintaining
a voltage of at least 7.2 volts for a 12 volt battery.
|
– |
The higher the CCA rating, the greater the starting power of
the battery.
|
• |
RESERVE CAPACITY (RC) : Reserve Capacity is a battery industry
rating, defining a battery's ability to power a vehicle with an
inoperative alternator or fan belt.
|
– |
The rating is the number of minutes a battery at 26.7 °C(80 °F)
can be discharged at 25 amps and maintain a voltage of 10.5 volts
for a 12 volt battery.
|
– |
The higher the reserve rating, the longer your vehicle can operate
should your alternator or fan belt fail.

In general, vehicle battery charging system has three forms.
1. |
Constant current charge: The battery voltage gradually rises by charging
with setting a constant current. If charging current and time are not managed
correctly, the battery is over-charged, therefore charging should be stopped
after confirming the completion of charging.
– |
General charge: Charging the battery for a long time with low
current
|
– |
Quick charge: Charging the battery for a short time with high
current
|
|
2. |
Constant voltage charge: The battery charge current is gradually reduced
by charging with setting a constant voltage.
|
If the battery is charged directly at the battery terminals on vehicles
with battery sensor, misinterpretations of battery condition and under certain
circumstances also unwanted Check Control messages or fault memory entire
can occur.
After recharging finished, let the battery stand for over 10 hours with
normal temperature for battery stabilization.
|
Battery Voltage and Status
Check the battery voltage and status using the battery tester.
Battery Terminal
