A battery is a device that stores electrical energy for later use. As chemicals in the battery change, electrical energy is stored or released. Batteries are not 100% efficient, some energy is lost as heat and chemical reactions when charging or recharging. Typical efficiency in a lead acid battery is 85 – 95%. In Alkaline and NICAD battery it is about 65%.

The lifespan of any battery will vary considerably with how it is used, maintained and charged. Extreme temperatures also affect the output of the battery.

The Cold Cranking Ampere (CCA) rating refers to the number of amperes a battery can support for 30 seconds at a temperature of 0°F until the battery volt drops to 1.20 volts per cell, or 7.20 volts for a 12 volt battery.

An amp Hour means one AMP for one hour. It is amps X hours. If you have something that pulls 20 amps, and you use it for 20 minutes, then the amp hours used would be 20 (amps) X 20/60 (hours) or 6.67 Ah.

All batteries regardless of their chemistry self-discharge. The rate of this depends both on the type of battery and the storage temperature the batteries are exposed to.

There may be little or no warning, however, if any of the following happens, your battery should be replaced immediately:

• Car has difficulty cranking over.
• Battery indicator light on the instrument panel stays lit for extended periods after starting.
• Headlights dim when the engine is idling.
• Clock starts to loose time after the vehicle sits unused for several days.
