how much CCA do we really need to start a car?
The cranking current required to start an engine varies from vehicle to vehicle and is dependent on the engine size, circuit resistance, temperature, engine oil viscosity and the accessory loads. A four cylinder engine may require as much cranking current as an eight cylinder engine because it may need to crank faster to start. All these factors are considered when an original equipment (OE) battery is specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
In Australia it is not necessary to purchase a battery with higher CCA’s than the vehicle manufacturers specifications. The following chart from BCI (Battery Council International) gives several examples of the current demands made on a battery by electrical accessories within a vehicle.
Typical Current Loads of Passenger Cars
Igntiion: 2-9A
Radio 0.5-5A
Windshield Wipers: 7.5A
Headlamps (Low Beam, Dim): 17-18A
Headlamps (High Beam, Bright): 19-20A
Parking lights: 4-10A
Brake lights 6-11A
Interior lights: 2-4A
Bonnet Light: 0.5-1A
Horn: 4A
Power Window (One window): 5A
ABS Brakes: 14A Max
Boot Light: 0.5-1A
Blower (Heater, Air Conditioner): 10-14A
Heated Rear Window Defogger: 13-28A
Heated Seat: 4-5A
Power Seat Motor: 10-13A
Summer Starting (Petrol): 150-200A
Summer Starting (Diesel): 450-550A
Winter Starting (Petrol): 250-350A
Winter Starting Diesel: 700-800A
As this table shows, the need for excessive amounts of CCA to start the engine has changed due to advancements in vehicle technology such as gear reduction starter motors supported with low cut in alternators.
Delco Remy a leading auto electrical parts manufacturer in the USA place warnings about the risks of damage to their starter motors from excessive CCA.
