BATTERIES 

Proper operation of any electrical system or component can be affected by battery condition. The battery(ies) 
must meet or exceed minimum specification for vehicle as equipped and test to that specific battery's CCA.  

Definition of Terms  

Battery Performance Testing - Testing that determines whether or not a battery meets both vehicle OEM and 
battery manufacturer's specifications.  

Cold Cranking Amp (CCA) Rating - The number of amperes a new, fully charged battery at 0°F (-17.8°C) can 
deliver for 30 seconds and maintain at least a voltage of 1.2 volts per cell (7.2 volts for a 12-volt battery).  

Cranking Amps (CA) - The number of amperes a new, fully charged battery, typically at 32°F (0° C) can 
deliver for 30 seconds and maintain at least a voltage of 1.2 volts per cell (7.2 volts for a 12-volt battery).  

OEM Cranking Amps - The minimum CCA required by the original vehicle manufacturer for a specific vehicle.

NOTE: Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery. Allow battery to warm thoroughly and 
then performance-test. If battery fails performance test, require replacement. 

Case leaking 

Require replacement. 

Casing swollen 

Further inspection required. See note 

below. 

NOTE: No service suggested or required unless the battery fails performance test, in 
which case, require replacement. 

Circuit open internally 

Require replacement. 

Electrolyte contamination 

Further inspection required. See note 

below. 

NOTE: No service suggested or required unless the battery fails performance test, in 
which case, require replacement. 

Electrolyte discoloration 

Further inspection required. See note 

below. 

NOTE: No service suggested or required unless the battery fails performance test, in 
which case, require replacement. 

Fails to accept and hold charge 

Require replacement. See note below. 

NOTE: This phrase refers to a battery that fails to either accept and/or retain a charge 
using appropriate times listed in the Battery Charging Guide of the BCI Service Manual, 
battery charger operating manual, or battery manufacturer's specifications. 

Fluid level low 

Further inspection required. See note 

below. 

NOTE: Determine cause of low fluid level. Refill to proper level(s) with water (distilled 
water preferred). Recharge battery and performance-test.  
If battery does not meet specifications, require replacement.  
If battery is sealed type (non-removable filler caps), require replacement. 

Out of performance specification for 
battery 

Require replacement. See note below. 

NOTE: The battery may meet vehicle's OEM specifications for that vehicle but test 
below the minimum specifications defined by the battery manufacturer.
