Newer Batteries with 425 - 500 and 600 CCA Ratings

[jc1300]

I'm seeing new batteries claiming some impressive CCA ratings. How is it that all of a sudden with a minimal rise in Battery wt. {more lead?} CCA ratings have jumped from basically 310 to 600?

Thanks for your thoughts - jc

If they are lithium ... apples and oranges ... but my guess ... Like everything else ... technology has gotten freaky good ... My iPhone is now more powerful than the computer that landed a man on the moon ... go figure.

My theory ... alien reverse engineering ... :Shrug: ... just saying.

​I'am ordering a YUASA 500 cca to replace the stock battery in my 2016. Stock is 405 so I'll give it a little boost

Just curious, where you ordering it from?

Love to give the battery companies credit, but I am going to guess the method of calculating CCA has changed.

Size 30 AGM batteries in the 385-400 cca range are fine for these trikes.

Unless your at 0° degrees, your not seeing cca anyway. The lithium batteries in our size are pushing 35-50 more amps for a battery less than 1/2 the weight. You then have to change your charging system.

When mine goes belly up, I think I'm going with an AGM battery, as they are getting better. Im gonna give the lithium style a few more years of improvement before I test the water.
