Re Tests on P&R RR11-3 Battery (1&2)
This battery is now 3 years old & has been on our bench life test 34 months & has also ran 3,977 miles on the road.
On Low Rate Discharge through a constant external resistance of 1.80 ω
85.7 ampere hours were obtained, all cells showing positive weakness.
On High Rate Discharge
Initial amperes = 112.0
Time to 104 " = 20.0 min.
All cells showing negative weakness
These results are excellent considering the battery so old as 3 years.
