What is the ampere rating of a car battery?
1 Answers
The ampere-hour (Ah) rating of a car battery typically ranges between 54Ah and 60Ah. Explanation of battery capacity: Battery capacity is one of the key performance indicators that measures a battery's capability. It represents the amount of electric charge a battery can deliver under specified conditions (discharge rate, temperature, cutoff voltage, etc.). For example, a 60Ah battery can provide a continuous discharge current of 1A for 60 hours. Classification of battery capacity: Battery capacity can be categorized into actual capacity, theoretical capacity, and rated capacity based on different conditions. Theoretical capacity refers to the calculated electric charge based on the electrochemical equivalents of active materials participating in the electrochemical reaction. Rated capacity refers to the minimum guaranteed electric charge that a battery should deliver under specified discharge conditions as designed and manufactured. Actual capacity refers to the electric charge a battery can deliver before reaching the cutoff voltage under specific discharge conditions, including discharge current and temperature.
