2 Test procedure : After completion of the 1st charge, allow the battery to stand on open circuit for not less than 12hrs. butnot more than 24Hrs.
discharge the battery through a variable resistor or acetated water load at constant current equal to I=0.1C, the discharge shall be
stopped when the closed circuit voltage of each battery falls to 1.85V, and specific gravity falls to 1.130 obtained in the duration of
10Hrs, maximum.
D] Recharging
