Why is Proactives™ 90AMP AGM Battery better than a Car Battery?
A car battery is measured in (CCA) or Cold Cranking Amps. The definition of the Cold-Cranking Amperage (CCA) of an automotive battery is the amount of current a given battery can deliver for 30 seconds at zero (0) degrees Fahrenheit without dropping below a specified cutoff voltage (manufacturer specific, but usually 10.5 volts). In short, a car battery will deliver a high current for a short period of time, like starting a car. But you see, a car battery can only supply a small amount of current (amps) over a period of time. Also, a car battery is not engineered to be fully discharged. Thus discharging and then recharging a car battery only a few times will result in battery failure. And, with a car battery there is no visual way to determine the voltage output, resulting in inconsistent discharge flow rates. In short, a car battery could be used to power some pumps, but do not expect it to last very long! These higher demand currents will cause extra loses in the internal resistance
