Popular Truck Battery Categories
Truck batteries are rated in cold cranking amps (CCA) and cranking amps (CA). Due to the mild climate in San Diego, the cranking amps of a truck battery, (CA) at 32 degrees F is more relevant to San Diego battery buyers.
Another tip for selecting a battery is to select one with the highest reserve capacity you can afford.
Reserve capacity (RC) is the number of minutes a battery can maintain a useful voltage under a 25 ampere discharge. The higher the RC minute rating, the greater the truck battery’s ability to run lights, pumps, inverters, and electronics for a longer period before recharging is necessary. Note, Reserve Capacity is difficult and costly to engineer into a battery and requires higher quality cell materials.
