4.
With batteries installed and torqued. Measure inter-cell resistance with a calibrated device and record.
If any inter-cell resistant values exceed the average, re-inspect as needed.
5.
Use plated lugs on cable terminations.
6.
When multiple cables are being terminated, use plated terminal plates.
7.
Make sure that all cables are adequately supported to eliminate any stress on the battery posts.
8.
Confirm the overall battery polarity before making any battery terminations.
9.
After making the first battery connection measure the voltage potential between the remaining battery
termination and the cable to be connected.
Do Not Make the Connection if the Voltage is over 0.5 Volts.
10.
Correct the voltage potential before making the connection.
Initial Charge/Freshening Charge
All batteries shipped wet and fully charged lose some charge in transit or while standing idle before installation.
At the first opportunity, they should be given an initial charge. This compensates for the open circuit standard
loss due to self-discharge.
To keep the warranty in effect, the battery must be given a boost charge every
three months while in storage and place it in service within six months of shipment from a C&D Technologies
factory. The charger must have the ability to adjust for temperature compensation.
Initial Charge Requirements
Initial Charge Records
At the completion of the initial charge, record and retain a record of all cell voltages and specific gravities
if applicable.
Important: Initial charge records are essential for review by C&D Technologies Sales/Service personnel
in the event of problems. Since these records can materially affect the warranty, be sure to maintain
these records.
