Tests on Ediswan Battery (221)
This battery is now 10 months old & has been on our bench life test during that time.
The bench tests shew some improvement on the routine tests, but the battery has a greater internal resistance as shewn by the high rate curves.
On Low Rate Discharge the battery gave 77.5 ampere hours & all cells shewed positive weakness.
On High Rate Discharge
Initial amperes = 104.7
Time to 10v " = 3.5 min
" " 100 " " = 11.6 "
Amperes at 20 min = 92.1.
All cells shewed negative weakness.
