Lucent Technologies Enhanced VR Series Batteries
7 - 8 Operation Issue 5 December 1998
Recharge After
Discharge
Recharge should be carried out at the normal float voltage of
2.25 volts per 2VR250E or 2VR375E module or 4.5 volts per
4VR125E or 4VR125EL module or temperature-compensated
voltage. The recharge should begin as soon as possible after the
discharge.
Boost Charge
Boost charging the Enhanced VR Series batteries is not
recommended without the concurrence of Lucent
Technologies. Call 1-800-225-7822 for technical assistance.
During a boost charge, water loss due to electrolysis is greatly
increased. In valve regulated, lead acid cells, frequent or
prolonged boost charges can result in premature failure caused
by cell dry-out. Boost charging at elevated battery temperatures
can be especially detrimental to the batteries.
