    The tag went missing off my OE toyota battery, and I cant remember the CCA rating. Its the Toyota Canada / Johnson controls 27F. Trying to load test it accurately, if anyone can help I would be very appreciative.

    On a side note, I will eventually be installing a group 31 top stud commercial battery, found out tonight it will fit with some relativly minor modifications to the hold downs and cables. The results of the load test will determine the urgency. The benefits are: a lot more battery, for a lot less $$, and dual purpose ( cross between a starting battery and a deep cycle ) are available.

    Thanks mucho! That means my current battery fails the load test, even though still starting fine. Still tests at 575 CCA though, could probably get through the winter, might try if I didn't plan to go hunting in remote areas. Group 31, here I come. Time to build a new hold down bolt and one longer cable to the power distribution box.

    Its about 1" taller, and 1" longer, but fits in the tray fine. I got this one free, but we pay 90ish for quality ones through my work. It will pay off when I get around to installing my winch too.

    surprised your battery is still kicking with your brutal winters..

    mine passed load testing about a year ago. i am keeping an eye on it..it is approaching 7 years old..not bad for a stocker. but i live in a country club for batteries, weather-wise.

    your welcome!!

    can you load test a battery with a multimeter?

    or do you have a load tester?

    I have a capacitance battery tester, googe OTC 3183 for more info. No, a multimeter alone will not suffice.

    I keep my battery terminals clean and electrolyte topped of with distilled water as needed, and never run my batteries down, which all helps with life. Maybe a good dose of luck too? My previous vehicle was a '96 civic, I replaced the OE delco at 11 years old, still started OK, but it too failed load testing. I won't be pushing my limits with this one when I have that almost new G31 sitting in my shop waiting for a home.
