alkaline secondary batons BS6132:1963 which should be implemented in
‘conjunction wih the folowing recommended precautions.

(Open the cases and check for any indication of damage in transit.
Remove the cells and any accessories from the packaging.
(Check that contents are correct to order and inspect for any damage in iransit.
Damage must be reported immeciately tothe Carrier, and the Company or its Agent
Ifbatteries are not put into service immediately they should be stored in a clean, dry,
‘cool and well ventilated store on open shelves. Plastic cells should not be exposed to
rect sunlight
Bofore storage ensure that:
(@) Cells are kept clean with adequate protective finish such as Komoline on glands,
‘and connectors and on steel cell tops.
(0). Electrlyte in cols is 10 mm below the spectied maximum level.
{) Vents are correctly seated and vent plugs flyin postion. KEEP TRANSIT
PLUGS INSERTED.
NOTE: IF EXCESSIVE LOSS OF ELECTROLYTE IN TRANSIT IS FOUND IN
CELLS SUPPLIED DISCHARGED AND FILLED, THE CELLS MUST BE
CORRECTLY FILLED BEFORE STORAGE BY FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IN
SECTION 23.
I storage in the delvery cases is necessary then the tops ofthe cases must be
removed. I storage in stacked delivery cases is necessary, then strong battens
should be placed across the open top of each case inthe stack. The battens should
run transverse to the feet on the cases, but ocate.on the solid feet at the comers to
give adequate ventiation.
Calls ‘filed and discharged’ or ‘iled and paially charged’ can be stored for up to a
‘maximum of one year. The cells should be sealed with the frmiy fing transit vent
plugs supplied with the cals. Check the plugs upon receipt. for unavoidable reasons
falls have to be stored for more than one year they must be given a maintenance
cytle as follows. Remove plugs from calls, charge to 200% of capacity at an available
Fate (Ci5 for 10 hours of C/10 for 20 hours) and then discharge atthe same rate to 1.1
\Voks per cell. Replace plugs firmly and retum the callstbattenies to store. Repeat
every 12 months, For batteries stored for more than 12 months, atleast two
chargelcischarge cycles as above are recommended befcre putting into service.
CColls discharged and empty can be stored for an indefinite period. Itis important that
they are sealed withthe fmt iting transit vent plugs supplied with the cols and
these should be checked periodically during storage.
‘Allcelis ater storage must be prepared for service and fully commissioned
{(s08 Section 4)
Betore starting preparation, read and implement the Safety Instructions.
(a) Filled and Discharged
Filled and Partially Charged
Colls delvered ‘Filed and Discharged’ are fitted with a black plastic transit
‘lug of black rubber slopper. Cells which are ‘Filled and Partially Charaec!

ppoles and connectors and on stee! cellops.
Carefully loosen the plaste transit plugs in the flip top vent or the rubber
slopper in the screw-in vent to release any gas pressure or paral vacuum in
the cells and then remove them completely. Retan them against possible
later re-use such as futher ransitor return to storage. Leave the fiptop
vent caps open. Remove and retain screw-in vents,
For plastic cols, visualy check that electrolyte levels in the opened cells are
10 mm below the MAX level onthe container.
For stee! cals check electrolyte levels inthe opened cells using the plastic
level testing tube. The correc electrolyte level above plates is 10 mmless
than the value given in Section 7
‘Adjust by careful addtion of approved ditiled or demineralised water if
necessary.

Topping Up “The equipment has been designed to aid the topping up of large sizes or numbers of
Apparatus ‘Acad cells, especialy where the level of electrote Cannot be ready seen.
The equipment consists of two basic units a filing pistol and a water container. The
fling pistols composed of a hand operated contol vave with extended delivery tube
fownch is fited a Sensing probe. The electronic sensing crculry and audibleWvisual
‘waming deviee, together with a small pnmary call battery are integrated intoa single
housing mounted adjacent to the control valve. The water container has a soven lire
capacity and is used to food demineralised or pure distiled water by pressurising it
‘with a hand pump. A safety valve is fitted o provide pressure rot
Operation
‘To top up a callthe operator commences by pressurising the water container and
inserting the probe ino the cell. For most cols tho adjustable collar on the probe is
Ioeated on the top ofthe vent assembly but with cels fitted with large steel vents, he
Collar sis inside the vent. Open ine lever on the control valve to allow water totlow.
When the electrolyte reaches the upper ip ofthe probe an olectical ercut is
‘completed and a buzzerfight will give a signal. This is a waming to the operator to
immediately lease the lever and stop water flow. The pressure relief valve may be
