What does CA stand for?

During the winter months, your battery needs a certain amount of cold cranking amps.

Two battery banks, each comprised of four AGM 12/160 sealed batteries will each give over 3000 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) at 24V to start the twin, high performance diesel engines.

24VDC * a 12VDC battery with 1,225 cold cranking amps * a valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery * a completely sealed, absorbed glass mat (AGM) technology that contains only a small amount of electrolyte in each cell chamber [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Also, practically no maintenance beyond checking and recharging (if needed) is required, except for removal of dust, dirt or very rare corrosion buildup on the exterior of the battery.

The fact is that the damage done inside the battery happened in the extreme heat of summer, revealing itself when serious cranking amps are needed for starting in the extreme cold," Gregory adds.

The Stowaway Tournament Dual Purpose battery provides 900 marine cranking amps and 205 minutes of reserve capacity -- giving the angler more time on the water.

If the car will be exposed to extreme weather, either heat or cold, the best guarantee against failure is a battery with a high level of cold cranking amps, at least 550, depending on the vehicle's engine type.
