English term or phrase: battery test double the time
it's about a wind turbine, English text is not written by a native speaker

"Error xxx, “Battery charging rotor blade drive”
Battery charging at standstill for a period 8.8 after message “battery voltage low” or “braking time 1,2 or 3 too long” ***after battery test double the time***."

I know that 8.8 is the number of a parameter so, it means for the period indicated in par. 8.8, but I don't know what meaning to give to the last part of the sentence...after the test on the batteries lasts twice the expected time??? I cannot make sense of it.... any idea?

Double the amount of time after the battery test / after the battery has been tested.
Explanation:
I think that they are saying that after the batteries have been tested you have to wait double the amount of time suggested in paragraph 8.8. in order to do anything else.

agree  jccantrell: My thought, too. You have to have some TIME specified in 8.8 and this time would be doubled after a battery test.
4 mins
  -> Thank you. It seemed to me that because the battery gets tested and, therefore, temporarily depleted we would have to wait XX amount of time before doing something else (making any more demands on the system).
