4.
With a small paintbrush, apply a light coat of heated NO-OX-ID grease to the electrical
contact areas of the terminal plate.
5.
Install the terminal plate to the terminal connectors using the torque values in Table 7.1.
6.
Connect the positive lead from the charger to the positive terminal plate of the battery and
the negative lead from the charger to the negative terminal plate of the battery. (Some
seismic installations have interface connections.)
7.
Connectors to battery terminal plates should be flexible since rigid terminal connectors
may transmit vibrations or strain to cell posts that could result in loose connections.
Support cables so that the cell post does not bear the load.
8.
Before activating the charger:
a.
Inspect the cell connections of the system to ensure that all cells are connected
correctly, POSITIVE (+) to NEGATIVE (-),
b.
Measure the voltage across the system terminals. Voltage of the battery should
equal approximately 2.06 times the number of cells in the string for 1.215
nominal specific gravity systems and 2.10 times the number of cells in the string
for 1.250 nominal specific gravity systems, and
c.
Measure and record the resistance of cell-to-cell and cell-to-terminal
connections. If the resistance of any connection is more than 30% or 5 Mohms
above the average, unbolt and remove the affected connectors and follow the
cleaning procedure in Section 12.1.3. Then remake the connection.
NOTE:
Do NOT recalculate the average resistance and
do NOT repeat the cleaning procedure.
