[Waverley ARS] Batteries: convert CCa to AmpHours

[Raffy]

Dear members,
 
As Hawkesbury Canoe Classic approaches, the need to have portable power made
me look around and see what batteries I had available. 
One of the batteries I have is a deep discharge lead/acid battery rated at
640 CCA.
 
My question was, what's that in amphours?
 
I found this website via google:
http://www.chem.hawaii.edu/uham/bat.html
 
The formulae stated reduces to:-
 
Amphours=(CCA/10)+16
 
So a 640 CCA battery is actually 80 amphours.
 
Just thought I'd share this little bit of knowledge with all of you...
