SECTION 20: CAPACITY TESTING
20.0 Capacity Testing
When a capacity discharge test is desired, it is recommended
that it be performed in accordance with IEEE-1188*, latest revi-
sion.
An equalizing charge, as described in Section 14.2, must be per-
formed within 7 days prior to the capacity test. The batteries
must be returned to float charging immediately after the equal-
ize charge completes.
After the capacity discharge has completed, the batteries can be
recharged in the shortest amount of time by following the equal-
ize charge procedure described in Section 14.2.

and Replacement of Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA)
Batteries for Stationary Applications.
