(12) Cell densities:-
(1) 1140 (4) 1120
(2) 1110 (5) 1140
(3) 1110 (6) 1145
9.12.21

(13) Third charge equivalent to average current
of 6 amperes
for 18 hours
i.e. ampere-hours = 108
9-12-21
10.12.21

(14) Cell densities.
(1) 1285 (4) 1280
(2) 1280 (5) 1285
(3) 1280 (6) 1280
12.12.21

(15) Initial amperes = 115
Time to 104 amperes = 5/5 mins.
" " 100 " = 10.2 "
" " 90 " = 14.3 "
" " 80 " = 15.25 "
