Too High Cca Battery

Cycle life a battery s cycle life is the number of times it can be recharged.

Too high cca battery. Generally speaking it is easier to start an engine in a warm environment than in a cold one. A battery with 500 cca or more should have no problem starting an atv engine even if the temperature drops below zero. Load it to 175 amps and start your stop watch. A battery with a high starting power must be able to give you enough confidence in time.

If your trying to measure what s left of your battery in life forget the cca rating. Add increased starter current draw if the engine is hot plus the late model bikes phase up while cranking and that needs good high cranking rpm. Ditto and no as more cca may not be mandatory for starting this car. Or you can get high cca by making the battery with really cheap thin lead plates and lots of cheap and strong electrolyte.

If your battery replacement has a lower cca rating than the oe then expect reduced performance. The battery does not push the cca cold cranking amperage but merely has it available to the starter to draw from the battery as the starter. Low cca is what can be hard on a starter. Other than that i have also learned that if i live in a tropical country i need not be concerned with car battery cca.

There is no such thing as too many cold cranking amps. Cold cranking amps cca cca is a rating used in the battery industry to define a battery s ability to start an engine in cold temperatures. Your replacement batteries should excel if not equal in terms of rating with the oe battery. Too low cca means that my car might not be able to start when the weather is very cold.

Which will give the same result when the battery is brand new but a very short battery life because the combination of thin plates and strong acid will cause the battery to fail very quickly. The only downside i can think of is packing too many plates in the same size could make the battery less tolerant to vibrations and normal flaking with age with ordinary lead acid type batteries. An agm battery with its low internal resistance may stump car guys because sometimes it doesn t work like a traditional flooded lead acid battery. Too high cold cranking amps may even be bad for my battery.
