Re tests on 5V Battery (173)
This battery was removed from the M.S. due to one Oldham cell having failed (see report SC6414-1-2).
This has been replaced by an Exide 6RR25-1 cell fitted with threaded rubber separation.
On low rate discharge through a constant external resistance of 1.80 w only 26.4 ampere hours were obtained. The Oldham cells showed positive weakness on the Cadmium.
On high rate discharge through a constant external resistance of .150 w
Initial amperes = 104
Time to 100 " = 4.1 min
" " 90 " = 6.4 "
" " 80 " = 7.3 "
Negative weakness was shown on
Signed: (Contd.)
This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work.
