Total 106.17
Random Equipment Load Only (if needed)
R AR= AR-0= MR= t=MR= 0.00
(*) In this calculation, constant potential charging effects are included in our Kt factors

Maximum Section Size 106.17 + Random Size 0.00 = Uncorrected Size 106.17
Uncorrected Size 106.17 x Design Margin 1.00 x Aging Factor 1.00 = 106.17
When the cell size is greater than a standard cell size, the next larger cell is required.
The required cell size is 106.17 Amperes-hours. Therefore cell MC110P is required
