Measure the individual battery voltages and remove any battery with a voltage that is greater than 0.3V
compared to other batteries in set (e.g. battery bank).

APACITY
1. Connect a load or discharger to battery and start the discharge process.
2. Record the runtime (minutes) until the discharge is complete.
3. Normalize the runtime minutes for temperature using the following formula: Rc = Ra [1 – 0.004 (Bt - 80)]
i. Rc = Runtime Corrected
ii. Ra = Actual discharge time
iii. Bt = Battery temperature at end of discharge (°F)
If the discharge runtime is greater than 50% of the batteries’ rated capacity at that discharge rate, then all the
batteries are operational.
4. Restart the discharger to record the individual battery voltage while still under load (current being
drawn).
If the discharge runtime is less than 50% of the batteries’ rated capacity, the battery with a voltage that is 0.5V
lower than the highest voltage may be a failed battery.
