Question: A forestry feller buncher operating in British Columbia requires a battery system capable of delivering 1,800 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) at -18°C. The technician specifies two 12V batteries connected in series. If each battery has a CCA rating of 900A, what is the combined CCA of this series-connected battery bank?

Answer options: ✅ 900 CCA

  • 1,800 CCA
  • 450 CCA
  • 3,600 CCA

Correct answer: 900 CCA
