Maximum Section size 868.12 + Random size 0.00 = Uncorrected Size 868.12.
Uncorrected Size 868.12 x Design margin 1.1 x Aging factor 1.25 = 1,193.67.
When the cell size is greater than a standard cell size, the next larger cell is required.
The Required cell size is 1,193.67 Amperes-hours. Therefore cell KPM 1200P is required.
The Kt factor is a way to present the performance of a cell.
Kt=Nominal capacity (Ah)/Performance (A)
It is valid for a specific cell type, discharge time and final voltage.

Temperature compensated charge voltage

Not mandatory. If used the value to apply is -3 mV/°C (-1.7 mV/°F) starting from +20°C to +25°C (+68°F to +77°F).

Storage
Store the battery indoors in a dry, clean, cool location (0°C to +30°C / +32°F to+ 86°F) and well ventilated space.
Do not store in direct sunlight or expose to excessive heat.
Cells filled and charged
• If cells are stored filled, they must be fully charged prior to storage.
• Cells may be stored filled and charged for a period not exceeding 12 months from date of dispatch from factory. Storage of
a filled battery at temperatures above +30°C (+86°F) can result in loss of capacity. This can be as much 5% per 10°C (18°F)
above +30°C (+86°F) per year.
Cells empty and discharged
• The cells are recommended to be stored empty and discharged.
• Cells can be stored like this for many years.
For cells operated below -20° C a higher gravity electrolyte is normally required, please check product information or contact
your local representative for guidance.
