(2) discharge
with
AN/USM-432.
If
until all cells are shorted out. Best results are obtained if
cells are left shorted overnight; however, a minimum of
discharge rack is not available, use AN/USM-432 in
is required the Manual Discharge position to discharge
3 hours is required.
(3) Deep discharge with RF80GT.
If a
the battery to zero volts. Monitor cell voltages with
discharge rack is not available, use the RF80GT with the
voltmeter and when the terminal voltage of any cell
discharge switch set to DEEP to discharge the battery to
discharge switch set to DEEP to discharge the reaches
10 volts or less. Monitor cell voltages with voltmeter and
0.5 volts or lower, place a shorting device battery to 10
when the terminal voltage of
volts or less. Monitor cell voltages (metal spring strip)
across the positive and negative with voltmeter and when
the terminal voltage of terminals of that cell Continue
