C. BATTERY AND CHARGER CHECK

NOTE: Data from applicable Step(s) in this section shall be recorded on Data

Sheet 1.

Check and record Battery Charger voltage (as found) and current meter

readings from the dc distribution panel meters.

____

Take and record the Battery Room ambient temperature.

Acceptance Criteria: Temperature recorded correctly.

(15 C to 35 C)

____

Check and record the battery (as found) terminal voltage, using a digital

voltmeter and reading at the battery terminals.

____

CAUTION:

Do not allow charger output to exceed XX amps.

If battery terminal voltage is outside the XXX to XXX volt range, adjust the

charger to obtain XXX to XXX volts and record the battery terminal voltage

(as left).

Acceptance Criteria: Adjustment made and readings (as left) correctly

recorded. (XXX-XXX Vdc)

____

Check and record the charger (As Left) voltage and current meter readings

from the dc distribution panel.

Acceptance Criteria: Readings recorded correctly.

____

(XXX-XXX- Vdc) ( X amps)

NOTE: A table providing manufacturer's correction factors for determining corrected

specific gravity (corrected for temperature and level) should be provided with

procedure.

Take and record the following Pilot cell parameters:

- Pilot cell number

- Hydrometer reading (HYD)

- Pilot cell temperature (TEMP) and temperature correction factor

- Electrolyte level (LEVEL) and level correction factor

- Pilot cell voltage (VOLTS).
