Battery Temperature Vs Voltage Drop:




1. The catalog number of the original equipment battery is the last three digits of the battery GM part number.
2. Cold Cranking Amperage = The amperage available for 30 seconds of engine cranking at -18°C (0°F).
3. Reserve Capacity Rating = The approximate time in minutes a battery can support a 25 ampere load without the battery terminal voltage dropping below 10.5 volts at 27°C (80°F). This is important in the event of a charging system failure.
