900CCA NAPA “Legend” Batteries dated 11/23 are at 12V and 700 CCA.
In 50* temps, they don’t have enough a$$ left to turn tractor over, so I took them back to NAPA.
NAPA dealer says “leave them overnight and we will test CCA tomorrow after long charge”.
They hook a NAPA tester up to it now and it says 12V 702CCA on one and 12V and 698CCA on the other.
I’m sure an overnight charge will bring them back to life, but will it last?
I’ve had to jump them a couple times and after tractor is running, makes about 13+ on the voltmeter and theres no electrical system light on.
