Unpacking and Acceptance Checks
U
NOTE
U
:
The only acceptance check required immediately upon receipt is
to look for signs of damage in transit. Unpacking and detailed
examination is unnecessary and should be left until the battery is
removed from storage.
D. Storage
Battery open circuit voltage cannot be allowed to drop below 25.3 V (min.)
during storage. It is recommended that the fully charged battery be stored in
a cool dry place, at or below 25°C (77°F). Under these conditions the battery
can be stored for 2 years. When subjected to storage or long-term exposure
in excess of this temperature, battery charge retention will be reduced and
possible performance degradation could occur.
It is mandatory to conduct an inspection and open circuit voltage check after
2 years and boost charge in accordance with paragraph H. if necessary,
when stored at or below 25°C (77
F). If stored above 25°C and below 35°C,
conduct an inspection and open circuit voltage check after 12 months. If
stored above 35°C, conduct an inspection and open circuit voltage check
after 6 months.
