Cca low depend the original battery. All car has minimum cca requirement, else car cannot start.

I usually DIY charge since battery voltage still ok.

worth it to charge batteries nowadays?

Yes worth it. Buy charger and do at home before battery fail. No need to remove battery so no need reprogramming.
Peace of mind knowing the battery wont fail anytime soon is precious.
ROI after 2 times charge only

I would not worry much about CCA. It is the Cold Cranking Amp, the max current when you start your car in cold climate. We live in tropical country which is not considered col, even for Cameron Highland, I would say. The CCA is measure when the car is cranked at sub-freezing temp after the car is left at -18C for 24 hours!

If you have no problem starting your car, then don't bother. Once you familiar with your car sound during starting, you will notice if the battery is getting weak and need to have it check or changed. For me, I just make sure I have a good jumper cable just in case I need help. So, far, I have use it once or twice but not for me but to help other people  smile.gif

Err.. you start your car at normal temperature. So cca is stil valid except those figure has to be at some temp point to compare with other manufacturer. Low cca cant start car
