BATTERY TERMINOLOGY
Group- Batteries are divided into groups which identify
the height, length, and width of the battery. is is use-
ful information should a replacement battery become
necessary.
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)- is rating measures the
cranking power a full charged marine battery has avail-
able to start at 32 degrees F. Basically, the higher the rat-
ing the greater starting power of the battery.
Reserve Capacity (RC)- As usage on the boat increases
so does the need for more reserve capacity. e reserve
capacity represents the length of time in minutes a new
fully charged battery can maintain the boat’s electrical
needs without the engine running or in the event the
alternator fails.
