Re Test on Sandwich SX Battery.
This battery was taken off chassis 98NK in a discharged condition. The P&R cells showed negative weakness & the Exide positive weakness. A full charge of 150% was given & a Low Rate Discharge through an invariable external resistance of 1.80w was taken & gave 74.7 ampere hours. All the cells showed positive weakness.
After a further full charge the battery was High Rate Discharged through an invariable external resistance of .100w
Initial amperes = 103.5
Time to 100 " = 8.5 mins
" " 90 " = 16.5 "
" " 80 " = 21.77 "
