Capacity Testing and 20 HR Rating
I'm thinking about doing a capacity test on my four GC2's. They have a 20hr rating of 215Ah. One thing I'm curious about is how the 20hr rating would have been determined. Being 6v, would they h...

This will render a thermonuclear-grade idea of capacity. For general comparitive testing where numbers are important a kWh meter is essential as is a Freas using temperature correction. A DC/DC converter with constant current control would be darned useful.
Graph values by the clock. Time, instant voltage, and SG. There is little need to take the accumulator down to 10 5 vdc unless you are doing OEM spec verification. I like algebraic inversion of the formula in which a battery is depleted to 50% SOC via hydrometer then kWh are noted. Battery Council International spec testing is soooooo YESTERDAY (granddaughterspeak).
