Item Description Remarks

1. Inspection for physical damage / defects
2. Check name plate information for correctness (type of battery, AH capacity, date of
manufacture.
3. Check tightness of all external wiring and cabling connections.
4. Verify all panel mounted devices (meters, switches, push buttons, indicator lamps,
etc.,)are supplied and installed according to approved drawings.
5. Make sure all battery connections are clean and free from corrosion.
6 Verify system configuration and capacity with contract specification.
7. Check that all cells are properly numbered.
8. Check protective covers installed
9. Check that all battery maintenance tools and accessories (hydrometer, wall mounted
thermometer, insulated torque wrench, rubber gloves, apron, face shield, etc.) have
been provided per specification. Ensure that all maintenance equipment is stored in a
wall mounted lockable cabinet.

3. ELECTRICAL CHECKS :

Item Description Remarks

1. For Valve Regulated Lead Acid Batteries, check the open circuit voltage of each cell.
2. Perform Initial charging of the battery (equalize voltage, charging rate and charging
time according to the manufacturer’s instructions).
3. Record individual cell voltage electrolyte specific gravity and cell temperatures at the
end of charge cycle
4. Battery Discharge test: Room
a. Battery must not have been discharged within last 7 days before test is temperature
performed. shall between
b. While battery on float, read and record the voltage of each cell or unit and 25 and 30°C
battery terminals float voltage.
c. Disconnect the battery charger and any other load on the battery.
d. Record the individual voltage of each unit and battery terminals.
e. Select the discharge rate based upon the battery capacity (ampere- hour) and
the time period the test shall be carried out for 10 hours.
f. With the variable load bank (dummy load) with an ammeter in series and
voltmeter across the battery terminals, connect the load while simultaneously
starting the time device.
g. Maintain the correct current while periodically reading and recording total
battery voltage. After 10 hrs. record the final unit voltage and compare the test
result with the manufacturer’s recommended voltage chart to confirm the
battery end voltage.
5. Fully recharge the battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
