Figure 4: Electrolyte level indicator
ATTENTION
The electrolyte level of charged cells decreases after charge while
the gas is escaping. Do not adjust electrolyte level further.
9. Stand the battery for one hour on open circuit.
10. Check the battery temperature is below 35°C
11.
Ensure that the battery is connected to the charge/discharge unit.
12. Discharge the 24V Battery at I
1
to 20 V.
Requirement: The voltage of each cell after 60 minutes must be equal
or greater than 1.0 V.
Note: If the discharge at the I
1
rate is not feasible, select a different
set of discharge rate and criteria from the table below.
Record the cell voltages (column 3) in the log book.
If any battery does not meet the requirement contact
the supplier.
13. Soak the battery to room temperature for up to 8 hours before
recharging.
ATTENTION
If necessary, adjust the
electrolyte level to the
height that touches the
edge of the spacer.
