BATTERY SYSTEM
Introduction
The battery system supplies emergency 28 Vdc electrical power to
the aircraft dc essential busses and to the #3 Standby Hydraulic
Pump.
General Description
Refer to Figures 1 and 2.
The battery power system of the aircraft has three batteries and
switching devices to supply electrical power to the essential busses
during emergency flight conditions.
The main, auxiliary, and standby batteries are connected to the main
feeder busses to receive a charging current. The main and the
auxiliary batteries also connected to the main feeder busses to
supply electrical power to start the engines. During an engine start
condition, the standby battery is disconnected from the main feeder
bus, but stays connected to the essential busses to maintain a
minimum voltage level on the essential bus.
The dc control panel in the flight compartment has the toggle
switches to control the battery system. The Engine and System
Integrated Display (ESID) system shows main 28 Vdc generation
system electrical indications.

The Battery system has the components that follow:
− Battery and Box, Main (24–32–01)
− Vent and Drains, Main Battery (24–32–06)
− Battery and Box, Auxiliary (24–32–11)
− Vent and Drains, Auxiliary Battery (24–32–16)
− Battery and Box, Standby (24–32–21)
− Vent and Drains, Standby Battery (24–32–26)
The contactors to connect the main and auxiliary batteries are
located in the DC Contactor Box (DCCB) and the contactors that
control the standby battery operation are located in the Standby
Battery Contactor Box (SBCB). Refer to SDS 24–31–00, Main 28
VDC Generation System.
Detailed Description
Refer to Figure 3.
The BATTERY MASTER toggle switch is set to the ON position to
close battery contactors K3, K4 and K24 and connect the three
batteries to the essential busses of the aircraft. Contactor K3, K4 and
K24 are controlled directly by the BATTERY MASTER toggle switch.
Their operation is independent of the Electrical Power Control Unit
(EPCU). The essential busses energize the EPCU.
The BATTERY MASTER toggle switch must be set to the ON
position before the battery toggle switch selections are made to
connect the batteries to the main feeder busses.
Each battery is connected to the main feeder busses by a related
battery toggle switch to receive a charging current. A STBY BATT
toggle switch selection, will cause the standby battery to connect to

the left main feeder bus through contactor K25. An AUX BATT toggle
switch selection, will cause the auxiliary battery to connect to the left
main feeder bus through contactor K7. A MAIN BATT toggle switch
selection, will cause the main battery to connect to the right main
feeder bus through contactor K8.
During an emergency condition, the batteries are the electrical power
sources for the main 28 Vdc generation system. Contactors K25, K7
and K8 will open to disconnect the standby, auxiliary and main
batteries from their related main feeder bus. The essential
distribution busses stay energized by the standby, auxiliary and main
batteries.
The emergency mode is caused by the conditions that follow:
− Electrical power is not available from the two dc
starter/generators, and
− Electrical power is not available from one or two TRUs,
and
− The aircraft is airborne.
If a start attempt is made during the emergency condition, the
batteries will automatically reconnect to the main feeder busses for
the duration of the start sequence.
The AUX BATT and MAIN BATT toggle switches connect directly to
their contactor. The other connection to the contactor is routed
through normally closed contacts of a relay in the EPCU.
The relay in the EPCU is controlled by logic. In some conditions, the
relays in the EPCU open to disable the contactor.

The batteries disconnect from the main feeder busses by the
conditions that follow:
− APU or DC GCUs senses an over current condition
− Batteries are disconnected when charging is not allowed.
The batteries can be charged by an ac external power
source through the TRUs.
NOTE
Battery charging must be monitored.
A manual STBY BATT toggle switch selection will connect the
standby battery to the left main feeder bus by closing contactor K25.
The EPCU causes contactor K25 to close when conditions that follow
are correct:
− No engine is in start sequence
− An emergency condition is not sensed.
The batteries are charged while they are connected to the main
feeder busses. The charging sources are either the dc
starter/generators, the dc external power, or the aircraft Transformer
Rectifier Units (TRUs).
A constant potential voltage is supplied to the battery terminals to
charge the batteries. When the dc starter/generators are used to
charge the batteries, a regulated 28.5 Vdc output is supplied to the
batteries.
When the batteries are charged from a dc external power source or
ac external power source through the TRUs, the charging current,
voltage and temperature of the batteries must be visually monitored.
The battery current shunts supply output current data from the
standby, auxiliary, and main batteries to the EPCU for EIS indication.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL − SYSTEM DESCRIPTION SECTION
The negative terminal of each battery is connected through separate
current shunts to airframe ground potential. The battery current
shunts are located near the batteries.
The batteries have two independent internal sensors that sense
battery temperature. A thermal sensor supplies battery temperature
data to the EPCU for EIS indications, and a bi−metalic temperature
switch supplies temperature exceedance data to the caution and
warning system for warning indications. The internal sensor wires are
routed through a circular connector attached to the battery case.
Refer to Figure 4.
When the battery toggle switch located on the dc control panel is set
to BATTERY MASTER position, the standby, auxiliary and main
batteries energize the essential busses if no other dc power source is
available.
Refer to Figure 5.
When the battery toggle switches are set to STBY BATT, AUX BATT,
and MAIN, the standby, auxiliary and main batteries will connect to
the main feeder busses to receive a charging current.
The Electrical Power Control Unit (EPCU) supplies indication data
through the two Input/Output Processors (IOP1, IOP2) located in the
