[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5729629, member: 601690"] Your battery is rated at 800cca and it only put out 588A at 47F? That shows that the battery is really weak. A CCA is supposed to be at 0F. At 47F it should well exceed the 800 CCA rating. Also, it says that you have low cranking amps. 11.2A at 12.5v is very minimal amperage at that voltage. You should expect to see much more than that for only a 3.2 second test. Now your concerns over how they hooked up the testing equipment might be well founded. I wasn't there myself to see them hook it all up, but that may explain the low scores. As for testing each battery independently, I agree with that as well. You can simply walk the battery into the store and have them test it inside the store. That is what I would do with each battery. [/QUOTE]
