✦ Synopsis

The first-cycle discharge capacity of tubular positive plates was determined as a function of formation conditions. "Infinite acid volumes" were used and formation conditions were more extreme (up to 152 h, 70 'C, s.g. 1.320 and paste densities from 3.2 to 5.5 g cme3) than those examined in a previous paper. In addition, the effect on capacity of resting periods during the formation cycle was evaluated. The data are presented in both tabular and graphic form, and it is shown that a computer-based polynomial curvefitting routine can be satisfactorily used to interpolate and, to some extent, to extrapolate such data.
