Lead acid cells of an approved type shall be used
and shall conform to specification no. IRS: S
88/93 for low maintenance lead acid cells.
The cells shall be installed as per approved
drawings.
At the time of installation, capacity test shall be
done and record shall be maintained.
Insulate the cells from the floor and from each
other using insulators. Place wooden planks
under the batteries wherever the cells are kept on
masonry racks and floors, metallic frames and
location boxes.
Keep the individual batteries properly aligned
and leveled to avoid stresses on the
connectors/cable. Keeping battery insulator
block under the battery is desirable.

Clean all the new cells for the battery set with
distilled water and fill all of them with this
electrolyte which will ensure uniform specific
gravity.
The level of the electrolyte should be about 12 to
15 mm above the plate.
Check either the red mark indicated on the vent
float or use a glass tube to see the level.
The charger output terminals must be correctly
connected to the battery set i.e. + to + and – to -.
Ensure that all electrical connections between
the charger and the battery are tight and offer
good conductivity.
Apply charge for 35 hours at the starting current
rate given by the empirical formula/ thumb rule,
where the starting charging current is taken as
4% of the ampere hours (AH) value of the cells.
Starting Current = 0.04 x AH value
