Understanding Your Battery Test Results
|
|
|
After your Honda dealer tests the condition of your battery, there are five possible results:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your battery is measuring within the manufacturer's specification for required Cold Cranking Amps or "CCA" (the measuring standard of battery power). Your battery should reliably start the vehicle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The battery tester has determined that your battery is in good condition, but the voltage or charge level is low. The battery will need to be charged prior to a retest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The battery tester is unable to complete an accurate test because the battery voltage is low. The battery will need to be charged prior to a retest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
While the vehicle may have started today, soon (particularly under extreme weather conditions) there is the increasing likelihood of vehicle malfunction due to battery failure. We highly recommend replacing your battery before it fails at an inopportune time.

- Battery "State of Health": The possible battery conditions and test results are: Good Battery, Good-Recharge, Charge & Retest, Replace Battery and Bad Cell- Replace. The recommended service will be determined appropriate to your test result.
- Battery Performance vs. Specification: Indicates your battery's current Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) vs. the CCA of a new battery.
- Battery Age & Average Life: Indicates that age of your battery and the average industry-calculated battery life for your geographic location.
