1.0 SCOPE
1.1 This section covers the technical requirements for power batteries complete with
battery racks, inter-cell connectors and all other accessories. Equipment offered shall
strictly be designed for site ambient conditions described in project data.

2.0 GENERAL

2.1 The equipment offered shall be complete with all parts that are necessary or usual for
the efficient operation and maintenance of the equipment, whether specifically
mentioned or not.

2.2 There shall be no impurities, harmful to the performance or life of the cells.

2.3 The battery offered shall be of lead acid type, with tubular positive plates (TBS type).
The battery shall be suitable for indoor installation in a clean and tropical atmosphere.

2.4 The battery shall be designed to meet load requirements and other parameters indicated
in the Data Sheets of Section: CC-3, till the end of life is reached.

3.0 CHARGING

3.1 Battery charging equipment provided will be capable of producing an output voltage
which is suitably controllable for float, equalize and boost charging operation of battery
with current limit provision, as stated in Section CC-3.

3.1.1 Float Charge Mode:


During normal course of operation, the UPS will be connected to the load bus. The
battery will receive a continuous charging current at constant voltage from the UPS at a
low rate sufficient to compensate for internal losses during floating. Battery in this
condition shall remain in a fully charged state.

3.1.2 Equalizing Charge Mode:


The battery will be given an equalizing charge as required during its life span, at
constant voltage and current limit to correct any inequalities among cells of the battery
that may develop during service. Supplier shall provide criteria and method of
equalising charge.

3.1.3 Boost Charging of the Battery:


The boost charging will be carried out with the battery isolated from the bus and the
battery will be boost charged by the battery charger.

The boost charging cycle of battery may comprise of two stages:


a) Initial charging: The charging of battery will be carried out at a voltage governed
by the specified current limit. If the current drawn by the battery exceeds the set
values of the current limit, the output voltage of the charger automatically reduces
to ensure that the current limit is not exceeded.

b) Final Charging: When the battery gets charged upto certain voltage, further
charging may be carried out at reduced current set value for current limit.
Subsequently charging of the battery would be at constant voltage.

c) The intent of boost charging is that completely discharged battery after a C10
capacity test shall be capable of being fully charged with current limited at values
indicated in Section CC-3. The battery offered shall meet this requirement.
d) Further, the battery after a duty cycle discharge shall be capable of being
recharged in 8 hours such that it is once again in a position to deliver specified
currents due to second duty cycle discharge.

The TENDERER shall specify in his offer the recommended duration of boost
charging, method of boost charging, current limit etc

3.1.4 The values for battery charging voltage (per cell) indicated in this document are
tentative. It is the responsibility of the TENDERER to furnish the voltages to be
adopted for float, equalizing, and boost charging for PURCHASER`s consideration.
The TENDERER shall give recommendations for charging requirements after duty
cycle discharge and also, the charging requirements after C10 discharge.

4.0 CAPACITY

4.1 The standard ampere-hour capacity of the battery bank shall be determined based on
the latest edition of IEEE: 485 considering the requirement of duty cycle furnished in
section CC-3 of this specification. The battery shall be capable of meeting its specified
load cycle with additional 10% as design margin even at the end of life under the lowest
specified site ambient conditions. Voltage drops across inter-cell connectors, inter-row
terminals etc. shall be considered and the specified end of discharge voltage of the cell
suitably increased so that bank voltages do not reach specified end of discharge voltage
earlier.

4.2 TENDERER shall guarantee that the capacity of the battery offered by him is adequate
for the duty specified. It may be assumed that the battery is charged to a state prior to
the start of a fresh duty cycle as per charging requirement of Section: CC-3 and is
discharged to an end cell voltage specified in Data Sheet of Section: CC-3, at the end
of cycle.

4.3 Calculation and methodology adopt for arriving at the relevant C-10 capacity should be
furnished along with the offer. In case of high rate discharge, a current vs discharge
duration graph shall be enclosed so that battery may be high rate discharged at any
other value for corresponding duration. The curve shall be validated to check its
applicability.

4.4 The battery shall operate satisfactorily over the entire range of temperature indicated in
the project data sheets. The TENDERER shall however, indicate, the percentage
variation in battery capacity at 30 min. rate for power battery with variation in
temperature from 08° C to 45°C with reference to the standard temperature of 27°C.

4.5 The battery shall be capable of duty cycle discharge at any time even after being kept
under float charge for many months.

5.0 BATTERY LAYOUT

Battery shall be complete with battery racks and should be mounted in single tier
arrangement. BIDDERS should furnish dimensional drawings showing the proposed
battery layout within the PURCHASER’s battery rooms. Battery room dimensions are
shown in the enclosed sketches as indicated in section CC-10 of this specification. The

check for electrolyte level, specific gravity of electrolyte, temperature, terminal
connections and measurement of individual battery terminal voltage. The
PURCHASER envisages use of portable trolley for removal of individual cells.
Sufficient space shall also be provided in between the rows to remove any cell using
trolley. The installation shall conform to the requirement of the latest edition IEEE:
484.

6.0 LIFE
