Best Auto Battery

Probably there is no single best auto battery that exists in the market today. It all depends on where you live, how you take care of it, and the type of battery that you want to have. Because the temperature affects the performance of your battery greatly, then the best auto battery is the one that conforms to the kind of climate you have. That is to say, a single battery may work superbly in one place, but may be useless in another.


If you live in a colder place, especially those with notorious winters, then the best auto battery for you is one with the highest CCA (cold cranking amps) rating as possible. Batteries with lower CCA rating simply cannot start your engine in cold weather. You need to go to great lengths to heat up your battery before it can be useful - not an exciting prospect especially if you're running late to work. Moreover, a maintenance free battery will also work best in colder climate so you want to get this type also.

If you live in a hotter climate, however, you want your HCA (hot cranking amps) to be as high as possible. You don't want your battery to render itself useless after leaving your car in a curb for just a few minutes. A maintenance free battery may not be the best auto battery for you in hotter climate because you want to regularly check your water level and replace it when it goes down below the desired level.

Another consideration for the best auto battery is the RC (reserve capacity) rating. It measures the ability of a battery to supply 25 amps of power before depleting the reserve below 10.5 volts when the alternator or the fan belt has stop working. You want this rating as high as possible for the next battery that you want to buy.
