BCIS-05 provides a recommended method for rating and capacity testing Electrical Vehicle and Cycling batteries using discharge rates and times commonly observed in lead-acid batteries used in floor scrubbers, golf cars, personnel carriers, RV & marine trolling motors, small mine tractors, over-the-road vehicles, and other deep cycling applications. The method outlined for testing batteries is intended both for battery manufacturers to establish ratings for new batteries and product improvements and for manufacturers and users to monitor performance of these batteries in production.
