Note: 1.If not listed in Table 8-1, use the bench rate given in the catalogue, or charge at a current equal to 10% of the nominal capacity at the twenty hour rate (A/hour), or 5% of the reserve capacity in minutes.
Note: 2.Batteries of the 800 series should be prepared in accordance with the Storage, Commissioning and Maintenance of lead acid batteries with the instructions supplied with each battery.
