What is a REGULAR LIQUID SLI battery? 

These  initials  stand  for  Starting,  Lighting  and  Ignition,  which 
are  the  three  basic  functions  which  a  battery  has  to  perform 
on  all  normal  vehicles.    Batteries  given  this  description  will 
have been specifically designed for service on cars and trucks 
within  a  voltage  controlled  electrical  system.  Those 
REGULAR  LIQUID  batteries  which  are  intended  for  heavy 
haulage vehicles fitted  with  large  diesel motors may  often  be 
called  COMMERCIAL  batteries.  They  have  to  be much more 
powerful and more robust than batteries intended for cars. 
 

What is the battery STATE OF HEALTH? 

It  means  how  much  battery  capacity  is  left  (%)  comparing 

with the marked original battery capacity. 

What is the battery STATE OF CHARGE? 

It  means  how  many  percent  of  the  battery  is  actually 
charged. 

What is CCA (COLD CRANKING AMPS)? 

The  current  in  amperes  which  a  new  fully  charged  battery 
can  deliver  for 30  seconds  continuously  without the terminal 
voltage falling below 1.2volts per cell, after it has been cooled 
to  0

O

F  and  held  at  that  temperature.  This  rating  reflects  the 

ability of the battery to deliver engine starting currents under 
winter conditions. 

What is AMPERE-HOUR? 

The unit of measurement of the electrical capacity. A current 
of one ampere for one hour implies the delivery or receipt of 
one  ampere-hour  of  electricity.  Current  multiplied  by  time  in 
hours equals ampere-hours. 

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF WARRANTY 

Any  battery  tester  defective  in  material  or  workmanship  will 
be  repaired  or  replaced  according  to  published  defective 
return test repair procedures. The existence of a defect shall
