Charging P.D's on P&R & Exide Std 6 volt unit Batteries.

Tests have been made on the New Std P&R & Exide 6 volt unit batteries having the improved modifications as outlined in JD {J. Draper - Frames} 48 3-1-30.

The batteries were put in a tank filled with water which was artificially heated to any required temperature. The battery was then connected in series with a charging circuit.
The charging P.D's were taken at various rates of charge at any temperature which could be fixed & the readings plotted on a graph.
It will be seen that the PD is higher on the P&R than on the Exide.
