End of Battery Pack life check

The battery pack can be checked for the end of its life by using the procedure in the following table.
Step
1
Set the BATTERY switch on the power system control panel in the OFF position.
Remove the Power System's lower cover. You can use either a screwdriver or a coin to
remove the two screws holding it in place.
2
Release the Power System cord connector at the battery.
3
Disconnect the battery pack from the subsystem.
4
Attach two pairs of leads to the battery pack terminals. One pair of leads are for
attaching a load resistor and must be a minimum of
1.0 mm 2 (18 AWG) wire. The second pair is for attaching a voltmeter and can be a
smaller gauge.
5
Select a voltmeter range of 60 Vdc for monitoring the battery voltage. Attach the
voltmeter to the smaller gauge leads.
6
The battery load for the test must be 5 ohms and rated at 500 watts. Five 1-ohm, 100-
watt resistors placed in series is recommended.
7
Attach the resistors to the larger test leads. Note the time of attachment.
8
The battery voltage must remain above 40 Vdc for a minimum of 20 minutes. If the
battery voltage is not maintained, the battery is considered at the end of its life and
must be replaced.
9
All batteries of the same capacity, rating, and specifications, do not provide equivalent
performance or reliability. For optimum battery backup performance, use only
Honeywell recommended and approved batteries.
