Is it ok to use a 800 cca battery if the specs call for a cca battery?
Your question is incomplete. You never mentioned what the cca rating is in the spec battery. As long as you put in a battery of equal or larger cca rating, you will be fine.
Where to buy 12V 532 CCA Cold Crank Amps battery?
First off you do not have to buy a 532 CCA battery. Any battery that fits your car with a CCA rating close to 532 CCA or above will work just fine. Walmart sells an excellent battery that will be more than 532 CCA. The more CCA the better.
What is is cold cranking rate?
cold cranking amps is the rating on a car battery- the higher the number of cca the stronger the starting power of the battery
What is the best cold weather car battery?
The one with the highest CCA rating you can find in the size you need for your vehicle.
Could using a car battery with more cranking amps than the original be bad?
No,, you can install a battery with a higher CCA rating. It is still a 12 volt battery so it will work fine.
How many amps on lawnmower battery?
Buy the largest CCA battery you can find that will fit your mower. 350 CCA is about average but get more if you can. 350 CCA will be very hard to find, the average lawn mower battery is 235 CCA which is plenty for most tractors. If you have a small 10-15 hp engine, 160 CCA is fine, a twin cylinder in the 16-20 hp range should have a min 235CCA and a large 20+ hp should have a 275 CCA or higher. However, I recommend a min of 235 CCA for a single cylinder and a 275 or higher for twins. By careful when reading the rating, ignore th "CA" rating, it is the "CCA" rating that is important.
What are car battery ratings?
Auto batteries today, for the most part, are 12 Volt. They are rated according to cold cranking amps or what is commonly called CCA. CCA is the amount of current, measured in amps, that a battery can crank out for 30 seconds at 0°F. This rating is important as a battery has to work harder to start your engine in cold temperatures. The higher the CCA rating, the more power the battery can deliver. Be sure and purchased a battery with the highest possible CCA if you live in a cold climate. Never buy a battery with a CCA rating lower than the one that came on your vehicle. Batteries are also rated in reserve capacity or RC. Reserve capacity is the length of time the battery can provide 25 Amps at 80°F. The reserve capacity is important if your alternator ever fails and you have to drive on the batteries reserve capacity.
How do you charge my amps in my battery?
You cannot change the amps in an existing battery. If you want to increase the CCA you will have to purchase a new battery with a higher rating.
How many amp hours is a car battery?
Depends on the battery you buy. They come in different CCA.
How much of a load is placed on a battery that has a 500 CCA rating?
250 amps for 15 seconds.
What is the standard cold cranking amps of an AC Delco battery?
"The amperage needed for a battery to crank a car in cold weather varies depending on the type of engine being started. Four-, six-, and eight-cylinder engines have different CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) requirements. The Cubic Inch Displacement (CID) is another factor. A 362 CCA rating should start a four-cylinder engine with a CID of 151, while a eight-cylinder with a CID of 350 would need a battery with a higher 440 CCA rating."
How do you make a car battery stronger?
You can't. You have what you have. Buy a larger CCA battery if you want more power.
