2.3 Annual Maintenance Inspection Items
In addition to the quarterly maintenance items above, inspect the following items:
Item
Content
Standard
Maintenance
1- Discharge test
Disconnect the AC, take
load
discharge
or
discharge online method
to check that discharge
capacity
is
minimum
30%-40% of nominal
capacity
At the end of
discharge, battery
voltage should be
more than
1.90V/cell,
differential pressure
must meet the
following values:
2V series 200mV
6V series 350mV
12V series 600mV
If the battery voltage is lower
than a voltage reference value or the
differential pressure is greater than the
reference value, discharge the battery,
then equalizing charge, then change to
float charge and run for 1-2 months. If
reference values still exceeded, contact
our technical team for assistance.
2- Capacity Test
Use on-line or off-line
intelligent discharge
device for discharging
batteries until the end
voltage has reached
1.80V / cell
In back-up use the
capacity to be
maintained must be
more than 80% and
in energy storage
use more than 60%
of the reference
capacity
Recovery test: measure and record
various parameters specified in the
monthly / quarterly maintenance items as
well each battery’s end voltage during the
discharge test. If the battery performance
cannot be recovered, replace and re-cycle
the battery.
3-Measure and
verify the
controller
parameters
1-Measure the limited
charging current values.
2-Check that the
equalizing charge starts
and ends automatically.
3- Verify the automatic
start of battery discharge
protection.
Actual operation
parameters to meet
with the set
parameters
In case power equipment and/or controller
fails, arrange repair in a due course to
ensure correct battery performance and
avoidance of reduced battery lifetime.
Maintenance notes
Operate and store batteries only in an upright position.
Ensure that the battery installation complies with the design requirements and installation
documents.
Please use only insulated tools during operation and maintenance, any metal objects to be
put on top of the battery is strictly prohibited.
