3M - Battery System Visual Inspection

Complete the following tasks:

Permits, Isolations and Toolbox Talk

1) Inspect battery cells casing and terminal condition

2) Inspect and ensure no alarm on RC or UPS system.
3) Inspect and ensure UPS is not bypass
4) Inspect RC/ INV cabinet ventilation fan function and filter
condition.
5) Record as found
- Battery charger current (A) to the battery
- Battery charging voltage (V)
6) Record as found for following battery system condition
- Battery casing good condition and not bulging or cracked
- Battery terminal has no signs of overheating or
corrosion
- No Alarms on Battery Charger for DC UPS or Battery
Charger and Inverter for AC UPS
- Battery charging voltage is at 2.23V x total cell for
SLA batteries or 1.43V x total cell for
SLA batteries
- Battery room temperature is 25 deg Celsius or lower with
HVAC otherwise not to be
evaluated

* Record as pass ONLY IF ALL THE ABOVE BATTERY SYSTEM

CONDITION (STEP 6) IS MET and fail if any one found not
meeting condition
