The full battery designation identifies not only the size, shape and terminal layout of the battery but also the chemistry (and therefore the voltage per cell) and the number of cells in the battery. For example, a CR123 battery is always LiMnO 2 ('Lithium') chemistry, in addition to its unique size.

Batteries have a code that indicates the size and type of battery. This code differs depending on the specification of the battery construction. There are 3 different specifications in the world that regulate the size, power and performance of batteries and they are the European (EN), the Japanese (JIS) and the American (BCI).
How do you know if a battery is American made?
American-made batteries use codes consisting of a two-digit number common to the same battery pack (eg 31, 34, or 46). This type of battery always has the same dimensions and the same pole orientation.
How many digits are in a battery number?
It is always five digits and consists of two parts: A three-digit number that indicates the capacity of the battery based on the number 500 (for 12V batteries). Eg 560 means batteries with a capacity of 60 Ampere, while 600 means batteries with a capacity of 100 Ampere.
What is the complete nomenclature for a battery?
The complete nomenclature for a battery specifies size, chemistry, terminal arrangement, and special characteristics. The same physically interchangeable cell size or battery size may have widely different characteristics; physical interchangeability is not the sole factor in substituting a battery. [ 1 ]
Most car batteries have warranties that last for 36 or 48 months. The average car battery life is around 5-7 years, but this can be reduced by certain factors. Buying a quality battery is the first step to battery longevity.
How do I know if my car battery needs replacing?
The best way to see if your battery needs replaced is with a battery tester, checker, or multimeter. To use one, you hook up the positive end of the tester to the positive battery terminal and the negative end to the negative terminal. You should have someone start the car while you watch the meter.
