Cranking Amps
This displays the average amperage drawn by the starter motor during cranking. The following amperage readings are general guidelines for normal operation:
CRANKING AMPS
| Temperature | Amperage |
|---|---|
| Room Temperature: 5-27°C (40-80°F) | 80-120 amps |
| Hot Engine: Coolant above 50°C (120°F) | 70-110 amps |
| Cold Engine: 5°C (40°F) | 90-130 amps |
| Cold Engine: -20°C (-4°F) | 230-280 amps |
NOTE:
As the ambient temperature decreases, the amperage required to crank the engine increases.
