Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the j
battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage on float charge, and the j
performance of battery service and discharge tests ensures the effectiveness of the charging system, the ability to handle high discharge rates and compares i
the battery capacity at that time with the rated capacity.
I Table 4.8-2 specifies the. normal limits for each designated pilot cell and each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage and specific i
j gravity. The limits for the designated pilot cells float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's full charge-i specific gravity or a battery charger current that had stabilized at a low i
value, is characteristic of a charged cell with adequate capacity. The normal i
limits for each connected cell for float voltage and. specific gravity, greater l
than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's full charge j
specific gravity with an average specific gravity of all the connected cells i
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 4.8-2 is permitted for up to l
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 1
i charge specific gravity, ensures that the decrease in rating will be less than j
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 l
will not be more than 0.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific 4
gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limit; and (4) the allowable value for an individual i
cell's float voltage, greater than 2.05 volts, ensures the battery's capability j
to perform its design function.
