Examine cells for concealed damage, electrolyte staining, and container integrity shortly after receipt.
Check electrolyte levels upon receipt; avoid adding electrolyte unless plates are exposed to air.
Store batteries indoors in a cool, clean, dry location, avoiding extreme temperatures.
Check all packaged parts and accessories against the shipping invoice for completeness.
Adhere to specified storage intervals for wet, fully-charged batteries to prevent plate sulfation.
Install batteries in a clean, cool, dry location, avoiding heat sources and direct sunlight.
Maintain ambient temperature between 60°F and 90°F for optimal battery life and maintenance.
Ensure cell temperatures do not vary by more than 5°F within a series string for uniform performance.
Provide adequate ventilation to prevent explosive hydrogen gas concentration above 1%.
Position cells correctly on the rack, ensuring proper alignment and spacing between adjacent cells.
Use the constant voltage method for initial charging, adjusting voltage based on cell count and system limits.
Electrolyte levels may rise during initial charge; do not remove electrolyte until returning to float charge.
Maintain battery in a fully charged condition using a constant voltage charger and critical load circuits.
Adjust charger to recommended float voltages based on specific gravity for optimal battery life.
Calibrate voltmeters regularly to ensure accurate battery float voltage readings.
Recharge batteries promptly after discharge, using the highest permitted voltage for faster recharge.
Equalize when specific gravity or float voltage indicates non-uniformity or low charge state.
Use constant voltage charging for equalizing, following specified voltages and durations based on cell type.
Electrolyte levels may rise during equalizing charge; do not remove electrolyte until return to float.
Measure specific gravity using a hydrometer, ensuring proper float movement and reading at the electrolyte surface.
Correct specific gravity readings for electrolyte temperature variations using specified factors.
Account for electrolyte level changes due to evaporation or charging when evaluating specific gravity.
Understand the acceptable specific gravity range within a battery for satisfactory performance.
Damp cell covers can cause parasitic currents, affecting float current and voltage readings.
Correct cell voltages for temperature to accurately analyze string uniformity and avoid unnecessary equalizing.
Use only approved or distilled water with specified limits for impurities for battery maintenance.
Clean cell jars and covers with a water-dampened cloth and neutralize electrolyte spills with baking soda solution.
Clean polycarbonate cells with a water-dampened cloth and neutralize spills with baking soda solution.
Measure connection resistance to ensure electrical integrity, typically in the microhm range.
Retorque connections annually or if resistance increases, but not if corrosion is present.
Follow specific measurement techniques for different connector hook-ups to obtain meaningful resistance values.
