as above, gave results as follow:-
No of cells | Volts | Resis an't | d.c. amps. | a.c. amps.
1 | 2.3 | Both | 6.1 | .85
1 | 2.27 | L.H. | 3.0 | .75
1 | 2.28 | R.H. | 3.2 | .80
2 | 4.6 | Both | 5.8 | .82
2 | 4.5 | L.H. | 2.85 | .70
3 | 6.8 | Both | 5.35 | .79
4 | 9.2 | Both | 4.75 | .73
4 | 9.0 | R.H. | 2.4 | .60

Next the swindling link was thrown over as recommended for charging from five up to seven cells.
This automatically puts one of the resistances out of action.
