19. ChargingBattery
A battery'scapacityis measured in amperehours(AH),whichisthe productof the numberof ampsflowingandthe hoursthis currentflows. Thechargerequiredis also measuredin ampere hoursand isalwayssomewhatlargerthanthe dischargeobtainable.Theamountof recharge
requiredat normalratesand temperatures is 140% of the dischargeobtainable.
Voltagesvalues,currents,etc,referto Chart 4. Chargingis mostefficientwhenperformedat batterytemperaturesbetween+40°Fand+80°F. Donot startcharging,exceptwhen necessary,if the batterytemperatureis above 100°F.
Donotchargea nickelcadmiumbatteryin the proximityof leadacid batteries. Fumesor acid spillagecan exist to contaminatethe nickelcadmiumbattery. If the sameequipmentis usedto

20. ConstantCurrentCharging
If batterycharge isunknown,completelydischargethe batterybeforecharging.
(a)
Chargebatteryat 13.3 ampsuntilbatteryvoltagereachescontrolpoint(30.5volts).
(b)
Thefinishingchargeratewill be 4 amps. Todeterminetimeto fully chargebatteryat finishing rate,usethe followingformula:
Tf -Time,in hoursrequiredforfinishingcharge.
Tf = Is x Ts 3 x If Is -Startingchargerate,in amps. Ts -Time, in hours,of charge atthe startinguntil "ControlPoint"voltageis
reached.
If -Rate, in amps, of finishingcharge.
NOTE: For furtherinformationon batteryreferto SAFToperatingand maintenancemanual, P/N DC 3-01-78-3176-5 A.
21. ConstantPotentialCharging
(a)
Chargethe batteryfor 4 hoursat propervoltage(referto Chart 4). Thechargershouldbe able to deliver a minimumof 43amps.
(b)
A nearlyfull chargemaybe restoredin one hourif the chargeris capable of delivering86 amps.
(c)
A batteryin a dischargedstatewill accept veryhighcurrents,for a few minutes,atthe beginningof the charge (350ampsmaximumin rushcurrent). Thiscurrentdoesnotdamage
the battery,butthe chargershouldhaveinherentcurrentlimitingorbe otherwiseprotected againstoverload.
