Huh? Capacity is in amp-hours and cannot be directly measured unless on a load tester. If he "measured" 12.36, it's certainly volts, which is the proper voltage for a car battery. CCA is a measure of how much current the battery can deliver under maximum load, presumably when starting at cold temperatures, hence the term Cold Cranking Amps. It's not a measure of capacity, it's a measure of internal impedence.
