 Number of cells
 Rated capacity
Step 1:
Discharging with C
1
for 6 minutes.
Step 2:
Charging with C
1
until the charging voltage of 1.55 V × number of cells is reached.
Step 3:
Topping charge C
10
for 1.5 hours.
Step 4:
Discharging with C
1
to 1 V for each cell. The here detected capacity will be used to ascertain the ef-
fective capacity.
Step 5:
Charging with C
1
until a charging voltage of 1.55 V × number of cells is reached.
Step 6:
Topping charge C
5
for 1,5 hours.
In case no automatic cell tester is connected:
15 minutes before the end of the topping charge a signal requests for measurement of
single cells voltages and to control the electrolyte level.
Otherwise:
15 minutes before the end of topping charge you are asked to control the electrolyte level.
