Hello,

I got a question for the fellow mechanics here, or anybody else who may experienced the same or a similar siatuation.

I had my car battery checked today, and I was advised that it should be replaced, but I wasn’t told any timeframe as in, should I do it within the next few days, weeks or months.

In my car I have a conventional flooded lead-acid car battery -> 12 V, 60Ah, 540A.

And from the measurements I received the following values ->
Voltage: 12,79V
CCA: 365 A

So looking at it I got like aprox. 65-70% of my total CCA, and the battery is like aprox. 2-3 years old.

When should be the ideal time to replace the battery, considering the current status of my car battery?

Thanks in advance!

    I’ve had batteries test good and die next month and I’ve had batteries test bad and come back 5 years later. Batteries can be a a shot in the dark
