Ratings


A battery has two ratings:
1. A reserve capacity rating designated at 27 °C (80 °F), which is the time a fully charged battery will provide 25 amperes of current flow at or above 10.5 volts.
2. A cold cranking amp rating determined under testing at -18 °C (0 °F), which indicates the cranking load capacity.
