7. TESTING AND COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE
BATTERY INSTALLATION:
2. Provide a free space on all the sides of the battery for easy assembly and
carrying out periodic checks
3. Place the mounting frame on the ground and ensure that it is in correct
position and uniform level. Use shims if required
4. The cell insulators shall be first placed on the stand and then cell should be
assembled on the four insulators. Level and distance between cells to be
maintained as per the drawing.
Once the electrolyte is ready and wait till it is cooled down, fill the cell up to
the MAX mark of the battery. Use glass or plastic jars for filling. After filling
the cells allow cells for around 8-12 hours for soaking. During the process
level of electrolyte goes down. Restore the Max level by adding the
electrolyte.
Initial Charging:
Ensure that charger is commissioned as per the procedure and connect the
cables as per diagram keeping polarity in to consideration.
Clean and wipe the place and check the connection tightness.
Check polarity and record of the cell voltage, bank voltage, specific gravity
before starting the charge.
First charging to be started after end of soaking period and when electrolyte
cools down to ambient temperature. It is essential to start the first charging
within 24 hours of filling.
The charging should be done at a constant current of 0.1 C10 till the
cell voltages reaches, 2.4. After reaching 2.4 volts, the charging
current to be reduced to 0.5 C10. Once the cell voltages reaches 2.60
to 2.75, stop the charging of battery.
2) At the end of each hour record the current and battery cell voltages.
Ensure that it is as per the charging requirement as mentioned above.
3) Record specific gravity and temperature of electrolyte, If temperature
is beyond 50 Deg C, discontinue the charging and restart only after
temperature reaches 40 Deg C
4) After 80% of the total AH input is given take hourly reading of voltage
and specific gravity. IF number of cells are more select few pilot cells for the
purpose.
5) At the end of the charge cycle gravity should 1.2 + 0.005 at 27
Degree. If any cell does not attain the charge (gravity is considerably less)
refer Battery manual.
At the end of the initial charging, adjust the level and gravity of cell to 1.2 +
0.005 at 27 Degree. Clean and wipe the place, Ensure connection tightness.
Operational setting:
After completing the first charging, set the charger to operate the battery for
normal float charging, Keep voltage between 2.15 to 2.2 and current as per
the data sheet.
Switch of the charger and keep the battery in open circuit for around 12
hours (not more than 24 hours) and than start the discharge capacity test.
