INITIAL SYSTEM READINGS
Measure the
DC system voltage across the
system terminals. Voltage should equal
approximately 2.15 times the number of cells in
the system (See Table 3).
If the voltage is lower than 2.15 times the
number of cells in the system, inspect the
system to be assured that all cells are
connected correctly — POSITIVE to NEGATIVE
and according to the
ASSEMBLY DRAWING .
TABLE 3
APPROXIMATE VOLTAGE
Number of Cells (2.15 x number of cells)
12 25.8
24 51.6
If the voltage is persistently lower than 2.15
times the number of cells in the system, contact
your EnerSys sales/service representative, or
call the corporate office number listed on the
back of this manual and ask for EnerSys
Integrated Systems & Services.
Make a copy of the Battery Maintenance
Report found in the Safety, Storage, Operating
and Maintenance Manual.
Measure and record the connection resistance
of “CELL to CELL” and “CELL to TERMINAL” on
the copy of the report.
NOTE:
Connections made to a battery for
tapping a certain group of cells to
provide a voltage other than the total
battery voltage is NOT recommended
and can VOID THE WARRANTY. It
can affect the serviceability of the
battery. Tapping results in an
imbalance of the system during
charging and discharging and results in
unsatisfactory operation.
