What is CCA?
CCA is responsible for power delivery
What is Ah (RC)?
Capacity is energy storage, the leading health indicator
Definitions of a Starter Battery
CCA: 30s load at rated CCA at -18C (0F) Battery must stay above 7.2V to pass Ah: Discharge to 10.5V at 0.05C (20h)RC: 25A discharge to 10.5V (in minutes)
Capacity loss

Most battery testers measure CCA only.
CCA stays high while the capacity drops. This makes impedance testers ineffective.
Capacity is the leading health indicator, but this value is difficult to estimate.
Many battery testers claim to measure capacity. This is not possible with a basic impedance measurement.
Testing Starter Batteries
CCA value relates to internal resistance

Capacity and CCA of aging Starter Batteries
CCA stays high to the end; engine cranks well Capacity below 40% is considered end-of-life
![Page 5: Cadex Electronics Spectro CA-12 Rapid Battery Tester](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082205/55b4f8d6bb61eb6c5b8b474e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Relationship between Capacity and CCA
175 starter batteries tested according to SAE J537
Few touch the 50% CCA line
Most batteries hug the 40% capacity line
Capacity determines the end-of-battery life. CCA not conclusive

Spectro is based on Frequency Domain using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
A frequency scan creates a Nyquist plot.

Randle’s Electrochemical Model
Cadex took EIS and developed multi-model electro-chemical impedance spectroscopy, or Spectro™
Spectro™ combines EIS with complex modeling to estimate battery capacity and improve CCA results

Fitting Electrochemical Models
Electrochemical models evaluate R1, R2 and C of the Randle Model.
C decreases, R2 increases and the Nyquist radius flattens with age.

Test conditions
Battery must be at least 60% charged. “Charge and Retest” message if below 60%
Specific Matrix gives capacity in % (accuracy +/-15%)
Generic Solution passes or fails battery on a 40% capacity threshold (accuracy +/-20%)
Accuracy is based on symptoms
Low charge and faded capacity appear similar
Low formation, long storage, surface charge falsify results
![Page 13: Cadex Electronics Spectro CA-12 Rapid Battery Tester](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082205/55b4f8d6bb61eb6c5b8b474e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is a Matrix?
A matrix can be compared to letter or facial recognition. Samples are needed against which results are compared.
A matrix is developed by scanning many good, marginal and poor batteries.
Most service personnel use the generic matrix.
The pass/fail provides conclusive test results.
Battery-specific matrix reads the capacity in %
Generic Matrix gives a pass/fail a 40% threshold
