Here are some battery terms, from http://www.jumpstarter.com/common.htm:

Amp Hour Rating
   An Amp hour is defined as the number of hours a new, fully charged
   battery can be discharged to a battery voltage of 10.5 volts. Which
   means how much useful energy can the battery provide.

Cold Cranking Amp
Abbreviated: CCA
   CCA is the discharge load in amps, a new fully
   charged battery can deliver continuously at 0' F for 30 seconds
   and maintain terminal voltage equal to or higher of 7.2 volts.

Cranking Amp
Abbreviated: CA
    CA is the discharge load in amps, a new fully
   charged battery can deliver continuously at 32' F for 30 seconds
   and maintain terminal voltage equal to or higher of 7.2 volts.
