Full Description

Scope

This recommended practice provides installation design, installation, maintenance and testing procedures, and test schedules that can be used to optimize the life and performance of vented nickel-cadmium batteries used for continuous-float applications. It also provides guidance for determining when these batteries should be replaced. These recommended practices are applicable to all stationary applications. However, specific applications, such as alternative energy, emergency lighting units, and semiportable equipment, may have other appropriate practices and are beyond the scope of this document. Sizing, qualification, other battery types, and battery application are beyond the scope of this recommended practice.

Purpose

This document provides recommendations for installation, periodic maintenance, testing methods and replacement criteria for nickel-cadmium batteries. The practices and procedures described are frequently not available in sufficient detail from the manufacturers.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.Superseded by IEEE Std 1105-2005 Abstract: Installation design, installation, maintenance and testing procedures, and test schedules that can be used to optimize the life and performance of vented nickel-cadmium batteries used for continuous-float operations are provided. Guidance for determining when these batteries should be replaced is also provided. This recommended practice is applicable to all stationary applications. However, specific applications, such as alternative energy, emergency lighting units, and semiportable equipment, may have other appropriate practices and are beyond the scope of this recommended practice.
