Haven't had any starting issues with my battery as of yet (touch wood
), apx 4 years old. However I'm going camping in the cold(-5c to 5c with possible snow) in 3 or so weeks, and really don't feel like getting stranded etc.
Took my car into Supercheapauto today for a load test, and the battery appeared to 'pass', but with a measured 516CCA, against a 680CCA battery rating.
Not entirely sure if my battery is fully charged as I haven't done a longer drive (>30mins) in more than 6-8 weeks. Unsure if that would affect the CCA or not.
