will not require cleaning and recoating. Clean the contact
surface areas of exposed copper post terminals with a dry
non-abrasive cloth and recoat only if they appear dirty.
7. If the case is dirty when removed from the shipping
container, clean the case with a cloth dampened with water
before installing it in the battery stand.
8. While unpacking batteries for installation in the intended
site, mark each battery with a number using an
indelible-ink magic marker. Note its corresponding
number and serial number in the appropriate column under
“Voltage Measurements on Individual Batteries” on the
Installation and Maintenance Record (see Section 10).
9. Identify all batteries that will be used for monitoring
battery temperatures. Temperature measurements should
be made on one of the middle batteries of a string. If a
single shelf is provided for a string, monitor any one of the
middle batteries. If more than one shelf of batteries is
provided for a string, monitor the middle battery of each
shelf. If more than one stand is provided, monitor the
middle battery of each shelf on each stand. Decide on
which batteries will be used to represent battery
temperature and note their numbers in the “Battery
Number” column on the “Temperature Measurements on
Selected Batteries” portion of the Installation and
Maintenance Record. This will ensure that the same
batteries will be used for all future measurements.
