INITIAL SYSTEM READINGS
If the voltage is persistently lower than 2.15 times the number
of cells in the system, contact your EnerSys sales/service
representative, or call the corporate office number listed on
the back of this manual and ask for EnerSys Service.
Make a copy of the Battery maintenance Report found in
the Safety, Storage, Operating and Maintenance Manual.
Measure and record the connection resistance of “CELL to
CELL” and “CELL to TERMINAL” on the report.
TABLE 3
APPROXIMATE VOLTAGE
Number of Cells (2.15 x number of cells)
12 25.8
24 51.6
Measure the DC system voltage across the system terminals.
Voltage should equal approximately 2.15 times the number of
cells in the system (See Table 3).
If the voltage is lower than 2.15 times the number of cells in
the system, inspect the system to be assured that all cells are
connected correctly - POSITIVE to NEGATIVE and according
to the ASSEMBLY DRAWING.
CAUTION:
Connections made to a battery for tapping a certain
group of cells to provide a voltage other than the total
battery voltage is NOT recommended and can VOID THE
WARRANTY. It can affect the serviceability of the battery.
Tapping results in an imbalance of the system during
charging and discharging a unsatisfactory operation.
