I believe the RCM (reserve capacity in minutes) rating of automotive batteries follows an industry standard of 25 amps load until voltage drops to 10.5V.

If so, you could multiply the RCM by (25/60) to get an Ahr rating (at 25 amps down to 10.5V).

For many automotive batteries, the RCM rating is available.
