When the first severe cold

In addition to the price,
there are other factors which
you should consider when
buying vour battery: cold
cranking amps (¢) plained
below), reserve capacity, and
length and type of warraniy.

Cold cranking amps refers
to the engine starting (crank-
ing) ourpur at -170 Celsius for
30 seconds.

A starter may draw 400
amps, so at -170-C it would

drain a battery rated at 300
cold cranking amps.

Reserve capacity refers to
the length of time the battery
will hold up without recharg-
ing. This usually is expressed
in amperes of output per so
many minutes.

When comparing battery
specifications, vou should
compare output and reserve
on the same amperage per
time basis. Typically, the
reserve capacity rating will
refer to the amount of time a
bartery can produce 26 amps
at. 270) degrees Celsius.
(Headlights may draw about
15 amps versus a tail light’s
1.5 amps.)

When idling along in stop-
and-go traffic, with the heater,
defroster, rape deck, and lights
turned on, the electrical sys-
tem is carrying a heavy load.
It’s comforting to know there
is a strong battery under the
hood. That security is well
worth the effort of evaluating
the best battery for your par-
ticular car.

Remember, replacing the
bartery is no substitute for reg-

ularly maintaining vour veii-
ele. [fan engine is in border-
line condition, needs a valve
job or tune-up, even a strong
battery may nor get the car
started.

Where can you get an auto-
motive battery? In addition to
retail outlets and department
starts, you may also want fo g0
to your local automotive parts
wholesaler. Many of thent will
also accept vour old battery
and dispose of it properly.

Car Care Canada encour-
ages you to dispose of your
battery properly.

Did you know thar one
pound of lead from a battery
or other source can contami-
nate 7,000,000 gallons of
water, making it unfit for
human consumption — (the
average car battery contains
17-23 Ib. of lead)?

Canadian automotive -bat-
tery manufacturers participate
in battery recycling, programs
across the country. Today, mil-
lions of units of scrap batteries
are returned and disposed of
in an environmentally safe
fashion.
