Decommissioning in the vehicle
In the vehicle the back-up batteries will always be recharged to 100% SOC. Before a
vehicle is removed from service, this charge should be completed.
Make sure that the charging equipment has adjusted itself to the continuous charging
level and that the battery charge current has dropped to the low trickle charge current.
If you take the vehicle out of service, disconnect all loads from the battery. Thus you
avoid damaging deep discharge of the battery and when recommissioning a high capacity
is available. For Decommissioning of the vehicle follow the instructions of the train
manufacturer and of the railway operating company. For "Recharging" follow the
instructions given in chapter 4.2.5.
