3.2 FACTORY TESTS OF THE PRODUCT
A. EnerDel shall successfully perform its standard factory tests plus any other factory tests that may be specified and mutually agreed to by EnerDel and EnerZ. A factory test report shall be available upon request. EnerZ shall be afforded an opportunity to have its experts present at the factory tests.
B. At a minimum, the tests shall demonstrate the following:
| -31- |
1. Verification of key technical parameters: The following measurements shall be verified against a calibrated test device. All voltages and currents shall be within 1% tolerance; all power readings shall be within 2%.
a. DC Voltage
b. DC Current
2. Rated Power (Burn-in) Test: The battery cabinet shall be charged and discharged at rated power referenced in Part 4. The following points shall be monitored:
a. DC Voltage
