Battery Charge Test
Using the battery that was discharged in the previous section, an experiment was run to
see how long it would take to recharge it using solar power. The current from the solar
cells was measured to monitor charging progress. No special or fixed conditions were used.
The battery and charger were simply placed outside at our facility in Fort Collins, Colorado
in August, and sun conditions and charging current measured.
