About this file
This document is a product information sheet for Mack Trucks, Inc., dated August 9, 2022, specifically detailing 12-volt battery options and specifications. The document provides technical information about different battery types and configurations for Mack truck vehicles, focusing on battery selection criteria, performance characteristics, and available package options.
The document outlines five battery types: Cranking Battery, Dual Purpose Battery, Regular Flooded, Enhanced Flooded, and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat). Each battery type is categorized from "Good" to "Best", with AGM batteries recommended as the most durable and reliable option. The technical specifications include Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA) ratings, which measure a battery's ability to start an engine in cold temperatures, and Combined Reserve Capacity, which indicates how long a battery can sustain a 25-amp load. The document provides a detailed table with sales codes, battery quantities, individual and combined CCA ratings, and reserve capacity for different battery package configurations, enabling dealers to select the most appropriate battery solution based on customer requirements and electrical system specifications.

Product Information
Options for battery type and battery quantity may vary by truck model and other options related to the electrical system. This document does not specify all battery package restrictions yet provides definitions of attributes found in battery packages to aid the dealer in selecting a package based on customer requirements.
Note: All Mack battery options are maintenance free and include 3/8” x 16 stainless stud posts.
Battery Type o Cranking Battery: Also referred to as “starter batteries”, these batteries are designed to deliver a large burst of power for a short time, such as when starting the engine. Not recommended for use in long periods of cycling such as running sleeper accessories.
o Dual Purpose Battery: Serves as a cranking battery but also provides higher reserve capacity necessary for running sleeper accessories for longer periods of time. A better option when adding certain electrical system options such as electric lift gate prep kits.
o Regular Flooded: Mack’s basic, old-school battery, primarily intended as a cranking battery. The least expensive and the least durable of all battery options – not the best option for severe duty applications.
o Enhanced Flooded: Dual purpose batteries for starting and longer cycling. Cost more than regular flooded options but cost less than AGM options. Up to double the cycle life compared to regular flooded battery with design features that add durability characteristics similar to those found in AGM batteries.
o AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat): The most durable Mack batteries available with a design inherent to be most tolerant to vibration and shock. More expensive than regular flooded and enhanced-flooded options. Provides up to 3-times the life of enhanced flooded batteries in laboratory conditions. Non-spillable as defined by the DOT.
Author’s note: If ever in doubt about selecting a particular battery package, go with an AGM option every time. These options are worth every penny given the battery’s design for durability, longevity, and reliability.
Battery Type and Quantity: Options for battery type and quantity will vary with other electrical system options such as alternator selection, shore power with inverter, or APU.
Battery voltage and Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA): All batteries are 12V. CCA varies per individual battery and number of batteries in a package. All individual batteries and packages are defined in the following table.

Product Information
Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA): CCA is a rating used to define a battery's ability to start the engine in cold temperatures (generally, it is easier to start an engine in a warm environment than in a cold environment). The CCA rating refers to the number of amps a 12-volt battery can deliver at 0° F (-18° C) for 30 seconds while maintaining a voltage of at least 7.2 volts. The higher the CCA rating, the greater the starting power of the battery. If you live in a cold climate, the CCA rating is a more important consideration than in warm weather climates.
Interpreting CCA ratings per battery package
Combined Reserve Capacity: Reserve capacity is simply the time in minutes a battery can sustain a 25-amp load without dropping below 10.5 volts, at which time the battery should be recharged. The table below lists the combined reserve capacity for all Mack battery package options, which is useful for determining the best option for meeting the customer’s cycle requirements.
