1.
The parameters in Table 4.8-2 meet the Category B limits, 2.
There is no visible corrosion at either terminals or connectors, orthecopnectionresistanceoftheseitemsislessthan 150 x 10' ohms, and 3.
The average electrolyte temperature of six connected cells is above 60*F.
c.
At least once per 18 months by verifying that:
1.
The cells, cell plates, and battery racks show no visual indication of physical damage or abnormal deterioration, 2.
The cell-to-cell and terminal connections are clean, tight, and coated with anticorrosion material, 3.
