was checking out some batterys and they state cca numbers the westco has a 130 and another has a 160 what does the numbers mean?

 
Cold Cranking Amps.

The definition of the Cold-Cranking Amperage (CCA) of an automotive battery is the amount of current a given battery can deliver for 30 seconds at zero (0) degrees F without dropping below a specified cutoff voltage (manufacturer-specific, but usually 10.5 volts).

CCA = Cold Cranking Amps. Maximum number of amperage output when cold (0 degrees for 30 seconds, IIRC).

D'oh, slow on the keyboard today.
