Conference ·
OSTI ID:7113381
The Battery Subcommittee of the SAE Electrical Equipment Committee developed new standards for rating automotive batteries. The need for the new ratings and their advantages over the former ratings are discussed along with the new ''Reserve Capacity,'' ''Cold Cranking, and ''Life Test'' test procedures. These new standards closely simulate actual operating conditions in today's cars, and their adoption will allow the battery suppliers increased design flexibility. 7 figures, 2 tables.
