Understanding Battery Specs

Choosing the right battery is critical for reliable starts and electrical system performance. The key specifications to match are BCI group size (physical dimensions), CCA (starting power), and terminal configuration (post type and location).

Key Specifications

  • BCI Group Size: Standard dimensions defined by Battery Council International (e.g., 24F, 35, H6, 65).
  • CCA (Cold Cranking Amps): Starting power at 0Β°F. Higher is better for cold climates.
  • Reserve Capacity: Minutes the battery can run accessories if alternator fails.
  • Terminal Type: Top post, side post, or dual terminal. Must match your cables.

Battery Types

  • Lead Acid (Flooded): Traditional, affordable. Requires ventilation.
  • AGM: Absorbed Glass Mat. Required for start-stop vehicles. More durable.
  • EFB: Enhanced Flooded Battery. Mid-range option for start-stop.
  • Lithium: Lightweight, expensive. Mostly for performance/racing.
