Battery CCA

[STLAcura]

So, I've looked but maybe not looked hard enough to find my exact answers. I'm wondering what would cause a batteries CCA to drop. For example, if it's rated at 550 CCA, and you test it at and it shows 225 CCA for example, what's it caused by? Extreme temparatures? Inactivity?

temperature drops and inactivity will both do this

also once you discharge a battery beyond a certain point, it's never the same. unless you get an automotive deep cycle batt. i like stinger, but i know people that have had good luck w/ svr, optima, kinetic.
