Hi, I don't know much about batteries and I am simply curious about the regular 12V car battery. Everytime I go to the store, I see all these batteries labeled with number of Cold Crankcing Ampere or Cranking Ampere, etc. I understand the definition of CCA and CA but, My question is:
- What about the average output current? What's the common output current(A) for a 12V car battery? How come they don't label the current output on these car batteries?
- If I have a jumper cable made of 16AWG copper wire with current rating of 10A. What happen if I connect the jumper cable to a battery gives 13A output current?
- Similar to question 2, if the cranking ampere is 540, will anything bad happen to jumper cable made of 16AWG copper wire?
I would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you,
