Re Tests on SX Battery (159) This battery has now run 13,787 miles on the road. On Low Rate Discharge through a constant external resistance of 1.80w 49 ampere hours were realised. All cells shewed positive weakness. High Rate Discharge through constant external resistance of .100w Initial amperes = 101 Time to 100 " = 2.5 min " " 90 " = 8.6 " " " 80 " = 11.5 " All cells shewed negative weakness on this test but the P&R shewed more signs of deterioration than the Exide. Signed: g.g. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
