3/4.8.1, 3/4.8.2 A.C. SOURCES AND ONSITE POWER DISTRIBUTION (Continued)

Table 3.8-1 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage and specific gravity.

The limits for the designated pilot cells f bat voltage and s r cific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's fui charge specific gravity or a battery charger current that had stabilized at a low value, is characteristic of a charged cell with adequate capacity.

The normal limits for each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's full charge specificgravitywithanaveragespecificgravityofalltheconnectedcells not more than 0.010 below the manufacturer s full charge specific gravity, ensures the OPERABILITY and capability of the' battery.

Operation with a battery cell's parameter outside the normal limit but within the allowable value specified in Table 3.8-1 is permitted for up to 7 days.

During this 7 day period:

(1) the allowable values for electrolyte level ensures no physical damage to the plates with an adequate electron transfer capability; (2) the allowable value for the average specific gravity of all the cells, not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's recommended full charge specific gravity, ensures that the decrease in rating will be less than the safety margin provided in sizing; 3) the allowable value for an individual cell's specific gravity, ensures that an individual cell's specific gravity will not be more than 0.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limit; and 4) the allowable value for an individual cell's float voltage, greater than 2,07 volts, ensures the battery's capability to perform its design function.
