Battery Maintenance
To avoid leakage currents and the associated risk of fire, keep the battery dry and clean. Clean with clear water; do not use any
solvents or detergents as they can cause permanent damage to the container and lid. Avoid electrostatic charges.
Measure and record the following parameters every 6 months:
»
Battery voltage
»
Voltage of some cells/bloc batteries (pilot cells)
»
Temperature of the container in some cells/bloc batteries (pilot cells)
»
Confirm daily depth-of-discharge per cell
»
Confirm max depth-of-discharge per cell does not exceed the allowed limit
»
Confirm charging factor is within acceptable limits
»
Confirm that charge settings correspond to the recommended ones
»
Check if corrective equalizing is applied
Measure and record the following parameters every 12 months:
»
Voltages and temperatures in all cells/blocks
»
Connectors, racks and the ventilation
