Applications for a single cell discharge/recharge test set for battery plant capacity determination

Recent technical results are described from a study of a single-cell discharge/recharge test of lead acid batteries. The test has been developed to meet the telecommunication industry's need for a means of accurately and efficiently determining if a battery string is still usable past its cells' expected life. The testing procedure and the equipment used are described, results and field experience are discussed, and the benefits of the procedure are outlined.<
