INTRODUCTION
- Electrolyte is very corrosive and can cause dangerous damage to the skin: use gloves and apron. If
it touches the skin, flush the touched part with water and make neutral the solution with acetic solu-
tion, vinegar or lemon juice, or with boric acid solution at 10% concentration.
- Electrolyte is very dangerous for eyes, use protective goggles.If the electrolyte touches the eyes,
flush them with water for 15 minutes at minimum and immediately get a doctor.
- Electrolyte ingestion can cause damage to the throat and the respiratory tract. Do not try to vomit.
Get a doctor immediately.
- Contact with nickel can cause chronic eczema.
- To breathe cadmium oxide can cause a dry throat, make you cough, cause headaches, vomiting, or
pain in your chest. Persons having breathed cadmium oxide fumes must get fresh air or get oxygen
or must have artificial respiration.
- Potassium hydroxide in the electrolyte can cause eczema.
5. Aircraft Conversions
Saft aircraft batteries come in a wide variety of configurations that are approved for installation on selected
aircraft. When replacing a lead-acid battery with a Saft nickel-cadmium aircraft battery, it is vitally important
to clean all mounting and holding fixtures in the aircraft prior to installation. All traces of acid and salt should
be removed by washing with a neutralizing agent such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in water. Once
the area has been fully cleaned and prepared, the surface should be painted with an alkaline resistant paint.
This preparation should ensure that your new Saft battery will not be harmed by sulfuric acid residue.
6. Ground Applications
Your Saft battery can be used in such ground applications as starting gas turbine generators, ground mobile
equipment, or in shop testing equipment. The same principles used in flight operations apply when the bat-
tery is used in ground applications. Ventilation of the battery during ground use can be accomplished through
a ventilation system or by simply removing the cover (only in a well-ventilated area). Check with your local
authorities for regulations in effect for your area.
7. Placing a new battery in service - initial commissioning

Saft batteries are shipped discharged. A visual inspection, torque check, charge procedure, electrolyte
check, and insulation test should be done prior to the battery being placed into the aircraft for service. Refer
to INSPECTION/CHECK chapter.
If the battery has been stored for longer than 3 months, refer to Servicing after discharged storage.

INTRODUCTION
8. Battery Ratings
8-1. Capacity
Nickel-cadmium batteries are rated in the same manner as any other battery by capacity in ampere-hours
(Ah) (rated capacity).
American Standard AS8033 defines capacity as "the dischargeable ampere-hours (Ah) available from a fully
charged cell/battery at any specified discharge rate/temperature condition".
Other definitions for battery ratings can be found in EN2570, IEC 60952 and RTCA DO 293.
A battery rated for 1C1 Ah indicates that the battery is rated at a value based upon a discharge time of 1 hour
at 23°C ± 3°C (73.4°F ± 5.4°F). In other words, a battery with a rated capacity of 40 Ah (1C1 Ah) will deliver
no less than 40 A for one hour when new.
A typical discharge curve for Saft VHP series cells can be found in Figure 1.

9. Recycling
All batteries eventually lose their ability to perform and are eligible for scrap and recycling. Saft takes envi-
ronmental matters seriously and advocates proper recycling of nickel-cadmium batteries and their compo-
nents. To that end, Saft operates recycling facilities in both Europe and North America.
Nickel-cadmium batteries contain nickel, cadmium, and potassium hydroxide and should be disposed of
properly. In all cases, rely on local and national regulations for proper battery disposal and/or shipping to an
appropriate recycling location.

10. End of life cells

Saft recommends the same procedure as EASA regulations concerning Maintenance Organisation Approval
Part 145 for the disposal of unsalvageable components. If the battery workshops are to maintain and retain
approval, they are obliged to respect the applicable regulations.
In order to ensure that end of life cells cannot be re-used, the following procedure is recommended:
- Ensure that appropriate protective measures (refer to Safety paragraph) and MSDS are taken.
- Ensure that the cell is fully discharged (refer to Cell shorting paragraph)
- Put one of the terminals from the cell between the two sides of a bench vice and bend until the terminal
breaks. In the event of electrolyte leakage, ensure that appropriate clean up measures as described in
the MSDS are observed.
- Dispose of the cell in accordance with applicable transport, health and safety and recycling regulations
(Refer to Recycling paragraph).

1-2. Batteries
NOTE:The item numbers are those of the detailed parts list chapter
Each Saft nickel-cadmium battery consists of a metallic box (020), usually stainless steel, plastic-coated
steel, painted steel or titanium, containing a number of individual cells. These cells are connected in series
to obtain a specified voltage, usually 12 or 24 volts nominal. Individual cells are enclosed in a polyamide
container that provides insulation, allowing them to be fitted side-by-side in the battery box. Interconnection
of cells is via rigid, highly conductive, nickel-plated copper links(030). Each link is held in place by nickel-
plated copper nuts (110) on the cells’ terminals (or nickel-plated steel screws for internally threaded termi-
nals). Inside the battery box, individual cells are held in place by partitions, liners and spacers (200), and a
cover assembly (010). Each battery is designed with appropriate ventilation to allow the escape of gases
produced during an overcharge condition and to provide cooling during normal operation.

1-3. Cells
The cell is the active component of the battery. It is here that the electrochemical reaction takes place con-
verting chemical energy into electricity. In Saft aviation batteries, the design features are on the cutting edge
of today’s technology.
The active elements of the nickel-cadmium cell are either two groups of thin, porous, sintered nickel plates
(VO, VP, VXP & Delta Plus (VHP) Series) or one group of positive sintered nickel plates and one group of
negative Plastic Bonded Electrode (PBE) plates [ULM® Series (CVH, CVK, CVD)]. In all cells, the positive
plates are sintered nickel, impregnated with nickel-hydroxide. The negative plates are either sintered nickel
impregnated with cadmium-hydroxide, or cadmium-oxide applied in a non-sintered coating process (PBE),
which is later converted to cadmium-hydroxide during manufacturing. In the cell, the positive and negative
plates are immersed in electrolyte, a solution of potassium hydroxide and water.
Within the cell container, a three-part separator separates the plates of opposite polarity. The outer layers
are a felt-like fabric. This fabric allows the electrolyte to stay in contact with the plates by “wicking”. The
inner layer is either an organic or a micro-porous synthetic material that acts as a gas barrier to control oxy-
gen recombination during recharge.
Each set of positive and negative plates is connected to a plate tab that employs a continuous welding joint
for maximum energy transfer. These terminals are connected to the respective terminal posts. The terminal
post is what allows external connections to be made. An O-ring seals the terminals.
Each cell is equipped with a vent-valve that can be removed to allow access to the electrolyte (for the addition
of distilled or deionized water). This valve also serves as a pressure-checking device, designed to limit the
pressure inside the cell to 0.7 bar (10 psi) maximum.
Many cells have a raised edge surrounding the vent-valve to contain any minor release of electrolyte that
may occur during overcharge.
Saft cells are composed of a cover and body made of polyamide plastic. These are thermally welded togeth-
er to form a single, leak proof container. This ensures that if the battery is maintained and used under normal
circumstances, it will never leak..

1-4. Connectors
Each Saft battery is connected to the aircraft by either a standard main power connector, such as an MS3509
type, or a special connector as specified by the aircraft manufacturer. Refer to "FITS AND CLEARANCES"
to determine the connector used on the batteries covered by this manual.

2. Operation
2-1. Temperature
Although Saft nickel-cadmium batteries are capable of operating in a wide temperature range [-40°C (-40°F)
to +71°C (+160°F)], optimum performance is obtained between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C(+113°F). Charging
is inefficent at temperatures below -30°C (–22°F) and is not recommended above 57°C (135°F). Charging
must be stopped at temperatures above +71°C (+160°F).
2-2. Maintenance
All maintenance, including charging, discharging, should be done specifically in accordance with the instruc-
tions contained in this manual or a corresponding Component Maintenance Manual (CMM). If a CMM exists
for a battery, that information will supersede the contents of this manual and this OMM will become supple-
mental.
2-3. Ventilation
Battery ventilation and cooling is accomplished through two methods. Most Saft batteries are equipped with

One of the following two procedures can be used in an emergency situation to charge the battery to approx-
imately 80% of its capacity. Do not use these procedures for charging the battery during normal main-
tenance.
- Charge the battery at 0.5C1A until the battery reaches an average of 1.55 V/cell, but for no longer
than 2 hours 30 minutes.
- Charge the battery at 1C1A until the battery reaches an average voltage of 1.57 V/cell, but for no
longer than 1 hour, 15 minutes.

3-3. Constant Potential Charge

CAUTION: Constant potential charging should not be attempted if the open circuit battery voltage is
below 1.0 V per cell.
In an emergency, a partially discharged battery may be recharged using a constant potential charging system
such as exists on the aircraft. Do not use this procedure for charging the battery during normal maintenance:
With the use of a constant potential system, it is imperative that the charge rate be checked periodically for
accuracy, and that the charger be set according to the average ambient operating temperature. The figures
can be used as a guide to ensure the correct charge rate used for a given ambient temperature.
NOTE: A maintenance check of the battery should be done at the earliest opportunity to verify bat-
tery performance.
Connect the battery to the constant potential power source. Charge for a minimum of 1 hour at 1.425 V/cell
to obtain approximately 90% of the rated capacity of the battery..

3-4. Other method of charging

In addition to the constant current method of charging, other methods that fully charge the battery can be
used. However, in every case, cell voltage checks (U > 1.50 V for VO,VP, VHP, VXP and U>1.55 V for
CVH)) and electrolyte adjustments must be carried out using a final charge sequence at constant cur-
rent 0.1 C1A. If specific instructions are not given in the charger operating manual, you must first contact
Saft.

NOTE: Time periods are given as a guideline. Modify in accordance with operational experience.
Periodic and Regular maintenance checks may be combined if operating hours permit.
4-1. Visual Inspection

Visual inspection should be done each time the battery is removed for maintenance.
Page 5002

INSPECTION/CHECK
- Remove the cover assembly (010).

- Visually check each cell (100) for any evidence of electrolyte leakage. If there is salt or electrolyte
traces do a General overhaul Excessive salts around a terminal post indicates possible leakage
from the terminal O-ring. Verify the torque of the lower nut (refer to chapter ASSEMBLY).
- Inspect the links (030 to 090) and all upper nuts or screws (110), and washers (120 and 150). The
hardware should be free of bends, tarnish, corrosion, burns, or any loss of nickel plating. Minor tar-
nish can be polished off with a fine wire brush. Defective hardware should be replaced.
- Check the main power connector (230) for evidence of arcing, corrosion, cracks, or cross-threaded
terminals. Replace any defective connectors.
CAUTION: Worn aircraft connectors and/or loose connections can greatly affect the performance of
the battery.
A defective main power connector (230) can cause battery self-discharge as well as low
voltage in service.
- If applicable, the temperature sensor and/or heater blanket harness assembly should be inspected
for obvious damage. This in no way replaces the full testing procedures found hereafter that ensure
full operation of the sensor assembly.
- Inspect the electrical connector for bent or loose pins, corrosion, cracks, faulty wire connections, ev-
idence of arcing, or cracked or loose potting material.
- Inspect the thermistor, thermostat, and/or thermocouple assemblies (as applicable) for any dam-
aged or loose wire connections, cracks, dents, or other physical damage.
- Visually check all wiring insulation to ensure there is no evidence of cracks, cuts, or bubbling. Any
evidence of damage to the temperature sensor and/or heater blanket harness assembly indicates a
need for Saft factory new replacement of the device.
- Inspect the battery box (020) and cover (010) for any damage. Minor dents may be repaired with a
small rubber mallet. Ensure the cover gasket (011), if applicable, is undamaged and fully secured
to the metal cover (010).
4-2. Insulation check

A breakdown in electrical insulation between the cells (100) and the battery box (020) will result in a “leakage”
current, which over time will discharge the battery. The most common cause for the loss of insulation is the
leakage of electrolyte from the cells (100) that acts as a conductor between the cells and the battery box
(020). Because leakage current can affect battery performance, it is necessary that it be kept to a minimum.
On a completely assembled battery, use a megohmeter, set to for
250 V DC, to measure the insulation resistance between the pos-
itive terminal of each cell (100) and the battery box (020).

- 4. Withdraw the plunger and check for any liquid in the syringe.
Any excess liquid in the cell will be drawn into the syringe until the electrolyte is level with the end of
the nozzle. This is the correct level for the electrolyte.
If the liquid level is too low, the syringe will remain empty, indicating that the end of the syringe noz-
zle did not reach the liquid in the cell. In this case, replenish low electrolyte:.
- 5. Draw 5 cm3 of the distilled water (M01) into the syringe and inject it into the cell.
- 6. With the syringe nozzle remaining on the vent-valve (100) seat, slowly withdraw the plunger in the
syringe.
- 7. If the syringe remains empty, repeat steps 5 and 6, counting the number of 5 cm3 injections re-
quired to achieve the correct level. Record the amount of water added to each cell on the mainte-
nance record.
- 8. At the point in step 6 when some excess liquid is drawn into the syringe, the correct level for that
cell has been reached. Expel the excess liquid into a separate container for disposal. Do not re-
use the liquid removed from cells. Check with local authorities for proper disposal of hazardous
waste.
4-7. Supplementary test

At the end of complete charge, continue to charge for 5 h at 0.1 C1A.
Measure the voltage of the individual cell voltages every 30 min. The individual cell voltages:
- must not decrease by 0.03 V during the test
- must be
- U > 1.5 V for VO/VP/VHP/VXP
- U > 1.55 V for CVH/CVD/CVK

5-1. Cell shorting

As each cell’s voltage drops below 1.0 V, connect an equalizing resistor (T03) across each cell’s terminals.
Leave the resistors in place for 12 to 16 hours to allow each cell to completely discharge and the battery to
cool.
NOTE: As an alternative to the resistor a shorting clip can be applied when the voltage has dropped
to 0.5 V/cell.
5-2. Capacity check

Discharge the battery at 1C1A. Record the time that the first cell reaches 1.0 volt. This time must be equal or
greater to 51 min for VO and VP and 1 h for VHP, VXP, CVH, CVD and CVK cells.

6-4. Vent valve test

NOTE: The Vent Valve Test is not necessary if the full set of used vent valves is replaced by a brand
new one each year during the General Overhaul or when there is evidence of electrolyte over-
flow.
This test should be done while the battery is on charge, just following the electrolyte leveling procedure.
Check the operation of the vent-valve assembly as follows:
- Place the vent valve (160) with its O-ring into the vent valve adapter (T05) of the pressure test fix-
ture.
- Immerse the vent-valve in water and slowly raise the air pressure.
- Test according to the table, and change all vent valve if they do not pass th test.
test Check
O-ring no distortion,split or cracks
air pressure < 0.14 bar (2 psi) Vent valve is closed
0.14 (2 psi) < air pressure < 0.7 bar (10 psi) Vent valve opens

Lightly lubricate the terminals, the washers (120), the nuts (110) and the links (030 to 090) with M02 using
a paintbrush.
NOTE: Some temperature sensors and/or heater blankets include components that require installa-
tion between cells and/or within the battery box. Ensure these items are installed properly
prior to the first cell in each row being installed.
Place the sensor in the box (if applicable)
CAUTION: Some liners or spacer are slotted. Make sure the ventilating system of the box is unob-
structed.
Put the sensor, liners and spacers (200) in the box
Insert the cells in the battery box making sure to maintain proper polarity. For easier installation, the center
cell in each row should be the last one installed. Press firmly on the last cell in each row with a block of soft
wood to seat it firmly in place.
Torque the lower nuts (110) to desired torque (refer to FITS AND CLEARANCES chapter)
Put the links (030 to 090), the washers (120) and the nuts (110) on the terminals.
Torque the nuts (110) to desired torque (refer to FITS AND CLEARANCES chapter)
Do an isulation test (refer to Insulation check chapter)
Put the cover on the battery and attach it.

Storage (including transportation)
STORAGE (INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION)
1. Introduction
1-1. General
Storage preparation and packaging makes sure that the equipment is protected against any attack by atmo-
spheric agents.
The figure and item numbers are those of the Illustrated part list chapter.
1-2. Storage room

Keep the batteries and spares in a dry and clean room.
1-3. Temperature conditions

The recommended temperature range is + 20 °C ±15 °C (68 °F ±27 °F). However, occasional excursion into
the range of -60 °C to +60 °C (-76 °F to +140 °F) is permitted.
2. Storage procedure
2-1. Preparation of the battery before storage
Service the battery as scheduled (periodical check, regular check or general overhaul check).
Lightly lubricate the nuts, the links, and all the components that can be damaged by atmospheric corrosion
with M02.
Put the battery in its usual vertical position.
2-2. Packaging
The batteries and cells are usually put in cardboard boxes. For long storage or sea transportation, we rec-
ommend to put them in a heavy gauge plastic bag that is subsequently heat sealed. In this type of container,
with the recommended temperature range, the batteries can be kept for 10 years.
2-3. Short term storage

Place the charged battery (serviced ac- 100
cording to OMM procedure) in a cool CHARGE RETENTION
Aircraft Ni-Cd battery

Storage (including transportation)
under the above conditions.

No maintenance operation needs to be done during the storage period.
Lead batteries must be stored in a different room.
2-4-1. Operations
Discharge to 20 V.
Light greasing of cells terminals.
Place in a storage room.
2-4-2. Conditions
The battery should be stored filled and discharged.
The storage life is 10 years, if using the following conditions :
- Sealed packaging.
- Temperature: + 20 °C ± 15 °C (68 °F ± 27 °F).
- Humidity: < 70 %.
- Normal vertical position.
- Isolated from detrimental agents : dirt, dust, humidity, vibration, corrosive atmosphere.
2-5. Servicing after discharged storage
Storage time Servicing procedure

Less than 3 months Charge the battery (Do one of the procedures given in INSPECTION/CHECK
chapter) for a fully discharged battery.
3 months to 1 year Do the Periodical check
More 1 year Do the Regular check .
3. Transportation procedure
The battery is normally discharged before packing. If it is necessary to transport a charged battery, make
sure that the output terminals are protected against short circuit.
The battery should then be packed vertically in its original container. If the original container is not available,
the international and/or local packaging regulations applicable to the mode of transport and destination must
be followed.
According to the IATA / IMDG dangerous goods regulations, Saft ships all existing nickel-cadmium batteries
or cells for aircraft under the classification UN2795 (wet, filled with alkali) according to packing instruction 800
