2000 BMW Z3 2.5 location Dallas Texas
Battery has 650 CCA and 810 at 32F
Battery came from another car and it holds charge at 100%. What I am not sure about on this batt. is if its rated cranking amps are sufficient for this car-because obviously I would rather be above the required CCA. Living in Dallas-our 4 weather seasons are hot, hot, hot & hot. With a couple of days dipping to freezing. We don't use the car in those days-it's a weekender and mostly parked. Looking at this battery's CCA, is this suitable for this car?
Also living in a hot climate which CCA is determine will come into play at cranking the car - the 650CCA or the 810CCA at 32F?
What is the significance of each?
Here is the test from AZ
