3.2. Charging

At the beginning all relevant main contactors for charging shall be closed.

The charge control limits of the test equipment shall be disabled.

The tested-device shall be charged with a charge current of at least 1/3C rate but not exceeding the maximum current within the normal operating range as specified by the manufacturer.

The charging shall be continued until the tested-device (automatically) interrupts or limits the charging. Where an automatic interrupt function fails to operate, or if there is no such function the charging shall be continued until the tested-device is charged to twice of its rated charge capacity.
