They have a CCA rating of about 220, but will crank initially at about 560 (from memory) and then drops pretty quickly after that. Not suitable for cars with constant dischagre (ie: alarms, clocks, stereos etc.) they are nice and light, but being a metal jacket type battery they require a voltage regulated switch-mode charger...like a multi stage charger, if they run flat. They run flat pretty quickly if left in the car unused for a few days, and need a decent charger to charge them. Definately no good if you have a big stereo....
