Telecom Battery Maintenance Guide: How to Extend the Life of
Proper care and routine maintenance are essential to maximize the lifespan and performance of any lead-acid telecom battery. This guide outlines key practices to help
TESTING METHODS AND TEST EQUIPMENT: Network and maintenance technicians shall conduct battery testing and maintenance routines based upon internal DC Cell Resistance testing. The DC Cell Resistance battery tests are conducted on a Three Times Per Year (4-month intervals) schedule to provide trended data and pass/fail data.
This of course allows the user to know the current battery condition and to predict with some accuracy the remaining life and capacity. Economics of the Maintenance Program: This set of maintenance and testing routines will rely upon a technician's availability or ability to reach (all) the locations requiring service.
DC POWER PLANT VOLTAGES. 90 days or longer. Apply an Equalize Charge ONLY as specified or prohibited per the battery manufacturer's installation instructions. Administer the Equalizing Charge by adjusting the battery charger (rectifier) float voltage to 56 Volts for a period of 12 - 16 hours.
with battery suppliers that specify the warranty replacement of battery systems based on Defective DC Cell Resistance measurements. Submitting defective Cell Resistance data to the battery manufacturer will facilitate servicing of the battery warranty. The data must include at least two consecutive cell resistance readings.
