CONDITION OF BATTERIES ON RECEIPT
/ACCEPTANCE CHECKS
All batteries as dispatched are in a fully charged
condition, the date of the latest charge being marked on
the outer packaging and on the battery instruction label.
If the battery is received within three months of the latest
charge, the only acceptance check required immediately
upon receipt is inspection of the box for damage during
shipping. The battery
does not
have to be unpacked.
If the box is damaged from shipping, unpack the battery
to inspect for any damage. If damage to the battery is
found, contact the shipper immediately.
If the battery is received 4 months or longer after the
latest charge, unpack the battery to perform a voltage
check in accordance with paragraph 9.
The battery labels show: -
• Type of battery (i.e. Lead acid - aerobatic)
• Manufacturer’s name
• Manufacturer’s type or product number
• Manufacturer’s serial number
• Date of manufacturer’s last charge
• Modification state
• Positive terminal polarity
• Nominal battery voltage and number of cells
• Rated capacity
• Safety instructions - where applicable
Warning!
Short circuit currents will exceed 2000 amps; all tools must be insulated. Care must be taken with all items
of metal in clothing and jewellery, e.g. buckles, zips, rings, watches, chains etc.
Caution!
Always ensure that the battery lid is securely fitted prior to charging.
Monobloc terminal nuts are NOT to be re-tightened.

COMMISSIONING PROCEDURES &
INITIAL TESTING AFTER STORAGE
(Refer to Battery Commissioning Flowchart Appendix B)
Note!
1.
A dedicated lead acid battery room is not required for servicing. A normal electrical workshop may
be used and under certain conditions the battery can be serviced in a nickel cadmium battery room
providing an appropriate risk assessment is performed.
2. Use a calibrated digitial voltmeter with a DCV accuracy of 0.3%, to carry out Open Circuit voltage (OCV)
checks.
3. All discharges must be in accordance with the rates detailed in Figure 5. Discharges should be
discontinued as soon as a duration of 48 minutes or an end point of 20V is achieved (see section 12).
This prevents excessive working of the battery and prolongs its life.
