2.
Inspect the battery terminals. Make sure that the battery terminals are clean and the connections are tight. If necessary,
clean and tighten the terminals in accordance with local practices, using approved cleaning solution. Reapply antioxidant
compound (NO-OX-ID-A or equivalent).
3.
In high discharge rate applications, or in areas subject to high vibration, periodically check battery terminal tightness.
NOTE!
Tighten all battery terminal adapter post nuts to the torque specifications specified by the battery manufacturer only.
4.
Keep records of battery and cell voltages as required by battery manufacturer and local practices to monitor long-term
changes in battery condition. To ensure battery warranty protection, keep any additional records as required by the battery
manufacturer. Refer to the Battery Installation and Maintenance Record supplied with the batteries.

Battery Replacement
The following considerations must be taken when replacing a battery:
•
Follow all previously stated warnings and precautions.
•
Review all documentation, including the battery manufacturer’s instructions and MSDS.
•
Never mix different battery technologies, manufacturers, or models within the enclosure.
•
Before proceeding, isolate the battery from the DC Power Plant (open the connecting circuit breaker).
•
Though isolated, potential for hazardous current remains, act accordingly.
•
The removal procedure is the inverse of an installation.
•
Any and all spillage must be dealt with completely and immediately.
•
To install the replacement, follow the previous installation and battery manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Ensure to re-apply NO-OX-ID-A (or approved equivalent) on all terminals and lugs.
17.4.5
Freezing Rain and Ice
The two primary issues with freezing rain and ice are:
•
Blocked ventilation, which can impose personnel hazards and potential risk to equipment damage.
•
Difficulty of access to the inside of the enclosure.
-
The selected lock hasp has been designed to minimize hidden ice build-up and provide for the removal of ice.
Ice will often break in sheets, so the use of a soft mallet or hand onto a surface will create the stress cracks necessary to push the ice
off.
In the unlikely event of a severe freezing rain, immediately followed by severe drop in temperature, the ice may be extremely thick and
hard. In this case, it is recommended a tent be used to isolate the enclosure and an external, no spark heat source, be used to warm
the enclosure.
Ice and snow should be removed from the front door and all ventilation areas.
Practices and tools to avoid include:
•
use of salt,
•
use of ice scraper, screwdrivers or other tools that would dig into the ice and ultimately into the metal surface,
