BCI Group explanation please?


Recommended Posts

LxHxW are all similar between 12v batteries. Is there a specific number I should be looking for to match my car or does that number correlate to something else?

The amount of cranking amps it has and how many amp hours it has. A larger engine vehicle typically needs more maps to turn it over, so it has a larger battery. And 12v batteries aren't all the same physical size, maybe just the ones you've looked at. Go to 4xspower.com and use the OEM calculator to find which BCI group your car is if you can't find it on your current battery.

XSPower batteries will generally be smaller in physical size for non matching BCI batteries to fit some vehicles, so look for something close to the size you are looking for and go with that as long as the positive and negatives on the same sides.
