Page 5: Introduction
The scope of this document is to supply the necessary instructions to correctly store, handle, install, use and maintain Eternacell (B)LSe batteries. 2.0 Recommendations Carefully read this entire manual upon receipt before installing or operating the battery. -
Page 6: Delivery And Storage
If the electrolyte has been supplied by Eternacell, store it in a safe place until required. If electrolyte is purchased locally, make certain its characteristics are in accordance with the following table:... -
Page 7: Filling Dry Cells
When electrolyte is sourced locally, we recommend that an additional 10% is purchased to cover any loss or spillage during handling and filling. For the quantity of electrolyte needed, please refer to cell technical data given under section 13.0. Always check the specific gravity of the electrolyte before filling the cells. -
Page 8: Charging
Place the cells on the rack and make sure that the spacing allows the accommodation of the supplied inter-cell connectors (approximately 0.4”). Most batteries have cells connected in a simple series arrangement, so the cells should be arranged to preserve the polarity sequence. I.e., (+)…(-)…(+)…(-)…etc. NEVER LIFT CELLS BY THE TERMINAL POSTS. -
Page 9: Filled And Charged Cells (Freshening Charge)
Before starting the charge, check that electrolyte temperature does not exceed 95°F (35°C). If necessary let the battery rest until this temperature is reached. Take individual cell readings of voltage, specific gravity and temperature before starting initial charge. It is advisable to use a charger, with constant voltage adjustable from 2.23 to 2.6V/cell and with an adjustable current from 0 to 0.10 C Amps available for the battery. -
Page 10: Charging In Service
Charging in Service Once put into service, Eternacell (B)LSe standby power batteries should be charged according to the following sections. 8.3.1 Float Charge at Constant Voltage To maintain the battery in fully charged condition during normal battery operation or, after a discharge, to recover 90% of nominal capacity within 20 hours, a recommended float charge must be applied. -
Page 11: Specific Gravity
9.0 Specific Gravity Before taking specific gravity readings, ensure that the electrolyte level is at the “MAX” line and that any recent topping-up of de-ionized water has properly been mixed by an equalize charge (see section 8.4.2). The specific gravity of the electrolyte varies with temperature. Consequently, hydrometer readings should be corrected as follows: •... -
Page 12: Topping-Up
Acid Batteries for Stationary Applications 10.3 Topping-up The water consumption of Eternacell (B)LSe batteries is minimized when floating at 2.23V/cell at 77°F (25°C). Consumption increases at higher temperatures and/or higher float voltages. Never allow the electrolyte level to fall below the “MIN” level line. When necessary, top the cells with de-ionized water. -
