[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 477170, member: 3775"] I got screwed when buying a couple of deep cycle batteries this week, I ordered another 115A/H - 1000cca and they sent a 100A/h which is about 35 bucks cheaper so I complained about it and they said they would send another 115/1000 out right away, I tested it with my computer gizmo and the CCA was right down @ 833 So I tested it again and it come up the same, I also ordered an 85A/H as my main Starter Battery that was meant to be 900cca I hooked it up to my tester and sure enough it was reading Low, I did the maths and it turns out that the 115/1000 is actually a 798.81/800cca and the 85/900 works out to be 718.93 /720cca, So it appears that they have changed the US scale of MCA/CA which is "Marine Cranking Amps to CCA on the 115/1000 and on the 85/900 they put CCA when in fact it is CA which is Cranking Amps, MCA and CA are the same Scales but they left the figures the same and gave em different Names, And now the new 115/1000 does not match my original 110/1000. And The delivery guy never took the 110A/H away with him when he came, so now I got a new 24kg door stop, LOL. They better not charge me for it or It will on their case because I still don't have any batteries that match. ]:D :poop: :poop: PS and I got a new jump starter Pack and a new Charger So if I flatten the batteries I have the Starter Pack as backup. :Y: :perfect: J.
