The Semi-Annual or Quarterly Maintenance Routine consists of the following:
1. Perform Midtronics internal conductance readings as well as interjar / inter-tier impedance readings on all batteries.
2. Measure and record individual jar and string float voltages and AC ripple current.
3. Clean all cells and racks, provide corrosion control where required.
4. Record ambient temperature of battery room.
5. Record Date Code, Battery Post Type, interconnect cable size, hardware/connection type
6. Individual cell inspection; seals, posts, jar integrity.
7. Individually High Rate/Short Term load test all jars to verify integrity and recovery curve. (when required)
8. Furnish completed data sheets and report any problems found during the inspection.
Note 1: The intervals of service visits and intervals of load testing can be adjusted based on the following:
1. Battery Type
2. Age
3. Customer’s personnel requirements
Note 2: Batteries and replacement labor are specifically excluded from this agreement. This program provides for inspections “only”.
