BAT 135 Battery Tester
BAT 135 | REV. A | JANUARY 2018
Starting, Lighting, Ignition (SLI) Battery
A battery that performs three basic functions 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 SLI 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.
State of Health (SOH)
Percent of battery capacity remaining compared with the marked original battery capacity.
State of Charge (SOC)
Percent of battery actually charged.
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)
The current in amperes which a new fully charged battery can deliver for 30 seconds continuously without the termi-
nal voltage falling below 1.2 volts per cell, after it has been cooled to 0 degrees F and held at that temperature. This
rating reflects the ability of the battery to deliver engine starting currents under winter conditions.
Ampere-Hour
The unit of measurement of 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.
