PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
Subject:
Battery Test Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA) for Original Equipment Batteries and
Testing Tips
Models:
2012-2014 GM Cars and Trucks
Correct battery cold cranking amperage (CCA) ratings and type are critical for proper test results when using the
EL-50313. Access to the battery specification label which contains the CCA rating and type may be difficult without
component removal. Refer to the table below for the original equipment ratings used to set up a proper battery test
and PDI charge.
Note: When setting up a battery for testing, it is required to select "Out Of Vehicle" or a warranty code will not be
generated. The battery must be disconnected from the vehicle and the test equipment connected directly to the
battery posts. There is no need to remove the battery from the vehicle.
Note: The following battery ratings are for original equipment (OEM) only. Service batteries may have different
ratings.
