Tests on SX Battery (157)
This battery has been on our bench life test for 26 months & has run 13,787 miles.
On Low Rate Discharge 35.3 ampere hours were realised.
All cells shewed positive weakness.
On High Rate Discharge
Initial amperes = 107.0
Time to 104 " = 4.0 min
" " 100 " = 6.2 "
" " 90 " = 10.3 "
" " 80 " = 12.1 "
All cells shewed slight positive weakness.
No 1 cell has the poorest capacity & was originally in S2 battery.
