AMPERES DISCHARGE INTERMITTENT HIGH RATE DISCHARGE CURVES OF VARIOUS CAR LIGHTING AND STARTING BATTERIES All batteries were discharged through the same circuit of constant resistance .0763 ohm. The full curves correspond to 15 seconds on contact, 15 seconds off. The dotted curves correspond to 15 seconds on contact, 45 seconds off.
