What is the pulse cranking amp rating (PCA)?
Unlike CCA and MCA the pulse cranking ampere (PCA) rating does not have an "official" definition; however, we believe that for true engine start purposes, a 30 second discharger is unrealistic. With that in mind, the PCA is a very short duration (typically about 3 seconds) high rate discharger. Because the discharger is for such a short time, it is more like a pulse.
How to connect a battery in Series?
The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery, the positive terminal of the second is connected to the negative of the third, etc. The voltage of the assembled battery is the sum of the battery voltages of the individual batteries. So the batteries are connected: + to - to + to - to + to -, etc. The capacity of the battery is unchanged.
Do batteries self-discharger when not in use?
All batteries, regardless of their chemistry self-discharger. The rate of self-discharger depends both on the type of battery and the storage temperature the batteries are exposed to. However, for a good estimate, Trojan batteries self-discharger approximately 4% per week at 80°F.
Are lead acid batteries recyclable?
Lead is the most recycled metal in the world today. The plastic containers and covers of old batteries are neutralized, reground and used in the manufacture of new battery cases. The electrolyte can be processed for recycled waste water uses. In some cases, the electrolyte is cleaned and reprocessed and sold as battery grade electrolyte. In other instances, the sulphate content is removed as Ammonia Sulphate and used in fertilizers. The separators are often used as a fuel source for the recycling process.
