    Bad battery?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm having some issues that are leading me to believe my battery is going bad. I just took the battery to advance auto (optima red top r34) and here are the test results...

    Voltage: 12.20v
    Measured: 786cca
    Rated: 800cca
    Temp: 72 degrees f

    Recommend charging.


    Do these specs fit? Is it actually still good? Or should I replace it

    How old is it? I've had batteries test as Good. But had very little life left.

    Spec says anything below 12.5V is bad, was this when it was fully charged?

    Just go buy a new battery and put it in and if it doesn't fix your problem take the battery back.

    I had a red top and a cell went bad. Took it back for warranty replacement and the guy told me they have red ones come back all the time. He switched me out for a yellow top.
