Hey Good Folks,

I've got a 2300 AH AGM pack of 2 Volt cells that is showing signs of premature aging (only 600 cycles) and I need to test the AH capacity of each cell to help the customer make decisions going forward of whether to replace individual lagging cells or the whole pack.

What equipment have folks used to do AHour tests on 2 Volt 2300 AH cells?  I've done plenty of load testing on 6, 12, 24 and 48 volt packs as a whole but am not sure what's my best approach is for 2 volt individual tests.

I know I could put a  resistance load and then use an AHour integrator unit - but does anyone know of what unit and what resistive load I'd use at 2 volts?  That would be a large device at that voltage to get any appreciative wattage! - I'd like to do a 10 hour test at most.

I see 2 V test units on the web but they only appear to be hooked up for a small amount of time - so they can't be testing full to empty discharge AHours.

Thanks!
