My apologies for writing some replies that others have already covered.
Glenn's reply is excellent and mine is simply redundent.
I've just returned from a two- week vacation and I'm just going through my
e-mail (572 e-mails!) in chronological order so I haven't seen other later
e-mails. If I've restated what someone else has already said, I'm sorry-- no
plagarism intended.
Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ

All batteries have some internal resistance. Bigger ones usually have less
than little ones. When you connect two batterys in parellel that resistance
is cut in half. That resistance is part of the circuit just like external
resistance and when you connect to a big load which requires lots of amps
the voltage drop across the internal resistance becomes significant and it
is subtracted from the voltage that the battery puts out. Remember V=IR

plus, minus to minus; Bill, if that was my car, I'd
put the biggest battery I could get in there, to crank that baby!" And
he was right, the biggest CCA battery available cranked it and ran it
better than a smaller CCA alternative. Bill
