Understanding these ratings and their relevance to the Ratings battery’s application and operating conditions is key to selecting the right battery. CCA (Cold Cranking Amperes) Twice the This is a measurement of the current a fully charged o power o battery can deliver for 30 seconds, whilst also maintaining a -18 available +18 voltage of 7.2volts. This test is performed at a temperature of -18°C, and is used to determine a battery’s ability to start the engine and maintain sufficient voltage to power the ignition requirements under severe cold starting conditions. Similar to CCA, MCA is used to measure the current a marine MCA battery can deliver for 30 seconds at a specific temperature. MCA tests are conducted at 0°C (instead of -18°C) and the Marine Cranking results are often 20 – 25% higher than the equivalent CCA Amperes rating. Because of this, it is important to always compare like for like, and never compare CCA to MCA, or vice-versa. Ah refers to the battery’s storage capacity, and is the current a fully charged battery will deliver over a 20 hour AH period - before the voltage falls to 10.50 volts. An Ah test is always performed at 25°C. Ampere-Hour @ 20hr Ignition, Lights, Radio Air, Conditioning, AVAILABLE AVAILABLE ENERGY ENERGY Electric Windows An RC rating refers to the length of time (in minutes) that a battery can deliver a current of 25 amps until the voltage RC drops below 10.50 volts. This test is performed at 25°C, and represents a typical electrical load on a car under normal Reserve running conditions. Therefore, an RC rating is a good Capacity indication of how many minutes a vehicle will run for in the event of a charging system or alternator failure. 10 How Important Is CCA? For many years, CCA (or Cold Cranking Amperes) has been widely used as a benchmark to measure and compare lead- acid batteries – with the assumption being the higher the CCA, the better the battery. As a result, some manufacturers produce batteries with excessively high CCA ratings to take advantage of this misconception. But there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and it’s the same story with batteries. Lead acid batteries contain lead plates, in Australia, having thicker lead plates wrapped in separators to insulate and to combat corrosion and more robust prevent them from touching each other separators are equally important as directly and creating a short circuit. A cranking capacity. battery can be made to achieve a higher CCA rating by simply adding more of At Century, we believe that it is far more these plates to the battery internals. But important to strike a balance between in order to achieve this, both the lead CCA and providing a long service life. plates and the separator material needs Our batteries feature expertly designed to be thinner – and this can have an internal components and an extremely impact on the strength and durability of durable construction to combat the these components. causes of battery

Introduction Electricity Storage in Japan Electricity storage is important for Generation Capacity(GW) by Energy Source load leveling and reliability/quality improvement Pumped hydro stations are practically used for grid level storage in Japan. (26 GW) Construction of new pumped hydro stations was estimated to become difficult due to shortage of appropriate site and environmental concerns. By contrast, battery could be installed at any place. (Source) IEEJ (end of 2011) Focusing on battery R&D 3 2. Energy Policy in Japan Basic Energy Plan The previous Basic Energy Plan compiled in 2010 called for a boost in nuclear power to about half of Japan’s electricity needs by 2030 from about one-third. After change of administration from LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) to DPJ (Democratic Party of Japan) and Great East Japan Earthquake on March 2011, energy policy in Japan have been moving to “zero-nuclear”.. After change of administration from DPJ to LDP again, based on the discussion in the committee, the Japanese government made a draft of the new Basic Energy Plan on 25th February 2014. • A mix of nuclear, renewables and fossil fuel will be the most reliable and stable source of electricity to meet Japan’s energy needs.
