1999 Chevrolet Metro L4-079 1.3L VIN 2 MFISECTION Reserve Capacity
The reserve capacity is the maximum length of time (expressed in minutes)
required for a fully charged battery to discharge to a terminal voltage of 10.5 volts direct current (VDC). All batteries are rated at a constant temperature of 27°C (80°F) and a constant current drain of 25 amperes. This current drain is about the same as operating a vehicle with the headlamps on with other minimal electrical loading (radio, etc.) and no generator output. The reserve capacity for the battery in this vehicle is 50 minutes.
