has elapsed, the test should be stopped and the ampere-hours discharge
should be computed. Capacity can be determined by referring to figure
3. Testing should be done each year if the capacity is less than 90

soon as possible after capacity drops below 80 percent of original. The
battery cannot be relied upon in an emergency if it has deteriorated
below 80-percent capacity.
