Post Charge Test

Post Charge Test

This test can be carried out with the use of a midtronics tester if available.

The purpose of this test is to ensure that the charging process has fully charged the battery and should always follow dry charge commissioning or new battery storage and charging.

NOTE: The figures quoted below only apply to new batteries the post charge test needs to show the battery has recovered to the higher voltage before putting it into storage.







At least 24 hours after the charge cycle is completed or if this time restraint is unacceptable due to circumstances then:
- Remove the battery surface charge
- Carry out an open circuit voltage test Open Circuit Voltage Test

Then compare your results with those below if the battery is new and carry out the recommended actions accordingly (or refer to the figures for in service batteries) Open Circuit Voltage Test

O.C. voltage - 12.69 or less Scrap battery & or submit for warranty.
O.C. voltage - 12.7 or above O.k. to use or store.
