It''s easy to put off battery inspections because the problems created by missed inspections aren''t immediate. However, problems inevitably arise that often extend beyond the battery. For example, one company relied on their UPS to operate an emergency relief valve, but when the supporting DC power system failed, the valve did not close causing a dangerous chemical release. In
This article provides an update of the battery testing requirements specified in the latest revision of NERC PRC-005, focused to illustrate the required testing schedule, and the scope of the two main electrical tests to be performed for a successful battery maintenance program.
UPs and batteries are the backbone of solar power plants as they provide essential backup power in case of grid failures or during periods of low sunlight. Effective preventive maintenance ensures reliable backup power and extends the lifespan of costly equipment. UPS and Battery Maintenance Checklist Visual Inspection and Contamination
preventive maintenance inspections for all battery types, including valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA or sealed), vented lead-acid (VLA or flooded), nickel cadmium (NiCad), and lithium-ion (Li-ion). Our DC battery specialists will recommend the ideal maintenance frequency based upon the criticality of the system in addition to the battery type, environment, and the number of strings
Inspection and maintenance checklists should be completed by the electrician performing the inspection, and a copy given to the owner for their records. Owners should keep records of all inspections and maintenance of their solar energy systems along with the documents provided when the system was originally installed. These records may be useful in the event of a

Monitoring improves system reliability by detecting battery problems at an early stage, before they can cause an abrupt system failure. How are problems detected? Problems are detected by measuring the internal resistance of each cell or module in the system.

Santa Fe Power Solutions offers ongoing preventive maintenance programs for DC power plants and inverter batteries. Batteries can degrade over time and must be inspected, tested, and replaced when appropriate.
According to IEEE484, during the operation of the nuclear power plant battery after commissioning and installation, a micro-ohmmeter is used to measure and record the connection resistance between the batteries. This verifies the correctness of the initial installation and provides a reference for future maintenance testing; review records of resistance

While the IEEE Standards reflect the ideal level of maintenance, Eagle Eye recognizes that battery users may have more stringent or less strict requirements and these can be accommodated and if necessary, a custom maintenance procedure can be written.
Measure the electrolyte temperature of 10% or more of the battery cells. At least once per year, the quarterly inspection will be augmented as follows: In the case of a lead-antimony battery, measure and record specific gravity and electrolyte temperature of all cells.
Batteries are among the least expensive pieces of equipment in a substation, and they are the heart that keeps the protection and control system running. Despite this, they are often not maintained properly. NERC standards make battery maintenance mandatory and its requirements are more stringent than those for other equipment.
A properly implemented maintenance program will aid in prolonging battery life, prevent avoidable battery failures, reduce premature battery replacement, ensure that the battery systems is charged properly at full capacity and deliver it the stored energy to the load when required.

In the case of a lead-antimony battery, measure and record the specific gravity of 10% of the cells and float charging current. For chemistries other than lead-antimony and where float current is not used to monitor the state of charge, measure and record the specific gravity 10% or more of the battery cells.
