Re: Which Battery to Buy?

Al,

Thanks for the update, it is a nice little unit and seems to do a great job for us so far. Something seemed wrong to me when I said internal resistance. Conductance sounds better.

The only funny reading we get is the meter tells us we have a failed cell no matter what. Our established CCA value for a competition ready battery is anything over 180 CCA. If they drop below that they are used for practice or for emergencies. A good new battery will typically be in the 230-250 CCA range, with some higher and some lower.
