À cause de notre climat hivernal, il faut tenir compte de la puissance au démarrage exprimée en nombre d'ampères au démarrage ou CCA (Cold Cranking Amperage). Normalement, cette donnée fait référence au nombre d'ampères que la batterie peut générer pendant 30 secondes lors d'un démarrage à -18 degrés Celsius. Toutefois, certains fabricants de batteries indiquent la puissance de démarrage à 0 degré Celsius au lieu de -18 degrés Celsius. 4, record 1, French, - intensit%C3%A9%20du%20courant%20%C3%A9lectrique%20au%20d%C3%A9marrage%20%C3%A0%20froid
