In the case of a lead-antimony battery, measure and record the specific gravity of 10% of the cells and float charging current. For chemistries other than lead-antimony and where float current is not used to monitor the state of charge, measure and record the specific gravity 10% or more of the battery cells.
Europe took a different tack. The Eurobat Guide for the Specification of Valve Regulated Lead-Acid Stationary Cells and Batteries defines design life as follows: “The design life is the estimated life determined under laboratory conditions, and is quoted at 20°C using the manufacturer’s recommended float voltage conditions.” 6
IEEE 450 and 1188 prescribe best industry practices for maintaining a lead-acid stationary battery to optimize life to 80% of rated capacity. Thus it is fair to state that the definition for reliability of a stationary lead-acid battery is that it is able to deliver at least 80% of its rated capacity.
Between load tests, impedance measurement is an excellent tool for assessing the condition of batteries. Furthermore, it is recommended that an impedance test be performed just prior to any load test to improve the correlation between capacity and impedance. Figure 4 Replacement of battery is recommend-ed when the capacity is 80% of rated.
The Battery testing matrix below may help guide even the most skilled battery testing technician and will help simplify the recommended practices. The following is a description of some of the tests or maintenance parameters. Capacity test is the only way to get an accurate value on the actual capacity of the battery.
The following is a description of some of the tests or maintenance parameters. Capacity test is the only way to get an accurate value on the actual capacity of the battery. While used regularly it can be used for tracking the battery’s health and actual capacity and estimating remaining life of the battery.
