Rated Capacity (Dry Cell) - The average capacity delivered by a cell or battery on a specified load and temperature to a cutoff voltage, as designated by the manufacturer. Rated capacity is usually determined by an accelerated test approximating the cell or battery's capacity in typical use.

Rated Capacity (Flooded) - The CCA (Cold-Cranking Amps), RC (Reserve Capacity) or amp-hours that a battery can deliver at a given rate of discharge, end voltage and temperature. These ratings are often displayed on the outside of the battery.
