They are rated in PCA and not CCA due to their ability to build internal heat, at least from what I'm understanding. It makes sense to me due to the fact that batteries internal resistance increase as they decrease in temperature. Lead/acid and AGM batteries can't heat themselves up. Lithiums batteries can which decreases their internally resistance when starting in cold weather. I can't get that site to load for whatever reason, but once I can, I'll read into it more.

Deka batteries are AGM (not standard lead acid). Deka is the manufacturer of Braille lightweight batteries.
