What is a SLI battery?
These initials stand for Starting, Lighting and Ignition, which are the three basic functions
which a battery has to perform on all normal vehicles. Batteries given this description will
have been specifi cally designed for service on cars and trucks within a voltage controlled
electrical system. Those SLI batteries which are intended for heavy haulage vehicles fi tted
with large diesel motors may often be called COMMERCIAL batteries. They have to be much
more powerful and more robust than batteries intended for cars.
What is STATE OF HEALTH?
It means how much battery capacity is left (%) comparing with the marked original battery
capacity.
What is STATE OF CHARGE?
It means how many percent of the battery is actually charged.
What is CCA (COLD CRANKING AMPS)?
The current in amperes which a new fully charged battery can deliver for 30 seconds
continuously without the terminal voltage falling below 1.2volts per cell, after it has been
cooled to 0OF and held at that temperature. This rating refl ects the ability of the battery to
deliver engine starting currents under winter conditions.
What is AMPERE-HOUR?
The unit of measurement of electrical capacity. A current of one ampere for one hour implies
the delivery or receipt of one ampere-hour of electricity. Current multiplied by time in hours
equals ampere-hours.
