E.J.C. J.D.30. X4617 P. 30-9-29. X4617P. Re Tests on P&R RR11-3 Battery (1&2) This battery is now 3 years old & has been on our bench life test 34 months & has also ran 3,977 miles on the road. On Low Rate Discharge through a constant external resistance of 1.80 ω 85.7 ampere hours were obtained, all cells showing positive weakness. On High Rate Discharge Initial amperes = 112.0 Time to 104 " = 20.0 min. All cells showing negative weakness These results are excellent considering the battery so old as 3 years. G.J. | ||
