A. TEST PROCEDURE AND CHECKLIST

The initial battery capacity test and commissioning records are pertinent
to the maintenance and optimum operational life of the battery. All
commissioning data shall be dated, recorded, and maintained in a
permanent file to facilitate required future maintenance and
interpretation of the operating data. The following data shall be
maintained in a permanent record file:
a) Initial battery capacity test performed in accordance with IEEE 450 SAES-P-103
A1
(for lead acid), IEEE 1106 (for nickel cadmium), or IEEE 1188 (for VRLA) Sec. 10.1
as applicable.
b) The initial resistance values of the intercell connections.
c) The initial individual cell voltages and specific gravity measurements.

Check that the Vented lead-acid cells are meeting the design, 17-SAMSS-511
A2
performance, and test requirements of IEC 60896-11. Sec. 8

As part of the battery, Saudi Aramco shall witness the battery

17-SAMSS-511
A3 manufacturer local representative performimg a capacity test at the
Sec. 17.2
installation site.

Check that the electrolyte level of each cell is between the high and low
SAES-P-103
A4 level marks imprinted on the cell case.
Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Annex E (d)

Check thoroughly each battery cell jar, cell jar cover, and seal (jar-to-
cover seal, post-to-cover seal) for deterioration (acid leakage, cracking, SAES-P-103
A5
crazing-spiderweb effect, distortion, etc.). Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450,Annex E (e)

Check thoroughly the plates in each cell for sulfation. SAES-P-103

A6
IEEE Std 450, Annex E (f) Sec. 3.2

Check the plates in each cell for the proper color that indicates a fully
SAES-P-103
A7 charged battery based on the manufacturers information.
Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Annex E (g)

Check through, the clear battery jar case, the plates, the bus bar
connection to each plate, and the bus bar connection to the post of each
battery cell for corrosion and other abnormalities. Inspect the lower part SAES-P-103
A8
of the post seals and the underside of the cover for cracking or Sec. 3.2
distortion.
IEEE Std 450, Annex E (h)

Check that all cells of the battery are properly numbered. SAES-P-103

Perform test that Batteries are delivering a minimum 90% of their rated
ampere-hour capacity at the initial site-commissioning test. Batteries 17-SAMSS-511
A11
delivering less than 90% of the rated capacity need to be returned to the Sec. 17.2.2
vendor for replacement.

If resistance readings obtained are more than 20% above the installation
value or above a ceiling value established by the manufacturer, or if SAES-P-103
A12
loose connections are noted, retorque and retest. Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 5.3.1(c)

Initial conditions:
Equalize the battery if recommended by the manufacturer and then SAES-P-103
A13
return it to float for a minimum of 72 hours. Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.2(a)

Check all battery connections and ensure that all resistance readings are
SAES-P-103
A14 correct for the system.
Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.2(b)

Record the specific gravity and float voltage of each cell or float current
SAES-P-103
A15 of the string and float voltage of each cell just prior to the test.
Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.2(c)

Record the electrolyte temperature of 10% or more of the cells to

SAES-P-103
A16 establish an average temperature (suggested every sixth cell).
Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.2(d)

Record the battery terminal float voltage. SAES-P-103

A17
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.2(e) Sec. 3.2

Take adequate precautions (such as isolating the battery to be tested

from other batteries and critical loads) to ensure that a failure will not SAES-P-103
A18
jeopardize other systems or equipment. Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.2 (f)

Test length:
The performance and acceptance tests are presented in Sec. 7.5 (IEEE
450) and the duration is recommended to be approximately the same as
SAES-P-103
A19 the duty cycle. These tests may not confirm the ability of the battery to
Sec. 3.2
meet its duty cycle, particularly if very-high-rate, short-duration loads
determine the battery size.
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.3.1

Test discharge rate:

The discharge rate for a capacity test depends upon the type of capacity
test selected. For the acceptance test or performance test, the discharge SAES-P-103
A20
rate should be a constant-current or constant-power load based on the Sec. 3.2
manufacturers rating of the battery for the selected test length.
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.3.2

Acceptance, modified performance, and performance tests:

Disconnect the charging source, connect the load bank to the battery,
start the timing, and continue to maintain the selected discharge rate. If
SAES-P-103
A21 the charging source cannot be disconnected, the current being drawn by
Sec. 3.2
the load must be increased to compensate for the current being supplied
by the charging source to the battery.
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.5(c)

Maintain the discharge rate until the battery terminal voltage decreases
to a value equal to the minimum average voltage per cell as specified by SAES-P-103
A22
the design of the installation (e.g., 1.75 Vdc) times the number of cells. Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.5(d)

Read and record the individual cell voltages and the battery terminal
voltage. The readings should be taken while the load is applied at the
SAES-P-103
A23 beginning of the test, at specified intervals, and at the completion of the
Sec. 3.2
test. There should be a minimum of three sets of readings.
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.5(e)

If one or more cells is approaching reversal of its polarity (+1 V or less)

and the test nears the 9095% expected completion time, continue the SAES-P-103
A24
test until the specified terminal voltage is reached. Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.5(f)

If earlier in the test an individual cell is approaching reversal of its

polarity (+1 V or less) but the terminal voltage has not yet reached its SAES-P-103
A25
test limit, the test should be stopped. Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.5(g)

Observe the battery for intercell connector heating. SAES-P-103

A26
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.5(i) Sec. 3.2

Restoration:
Disconnect all test apparatus. Recharge the battery and return it to SAES-P-103
A27
normal service. Sec. 3.2
IEEE Std 450, Sec. 7.7

Specific gravity readings are based on a temperature of 77F (25C).

The readings should be corrected for the actual electrolyte temperature
and level (see B.3). For each 3F (1.67C) above 77F (25 oC), add 1 SAES-P-103
A28
point (0.001) to the reading. Subtract 1 point for each 3F (1.67 oC) Sec. 3.2
below 77F (25 oC).
IEEE Std 450, Annex B. 2

Effect of electrolyte level:

The specific gravity of the electrolyte in a cell will increase with a loss of
water due to electrolysis or evaporation. When specific gravity readings
are being taken, the electrolyte levels should also be measured and
recorded. The battery manufacturer will provide a gravity correction
SAES-P-103
A29 factor for the particular cells involved. However, if the electrolyte level is
Sec. 3.2
between the high and low level marks and the temperature corrected
specific gravity of the electrolyte is within the manufacturers nominal
specific gravity range, it is not necessary to correct the specific gravity of
the battery for electrolyte level.
IEEE Std 450, Annex B. 3

Effect of water additions:

When water is added to a cell, it tends to float on top of the electrolyte
because its specific gravity is 1.000 in comparison to 1.215 nominal for
the electrolyte in most batteries. If the cells are in a normal float charge SAES-P-103
A30
condition, there is very little mixing of the electrolyte due to gassing. In Sec. 3.2
certain cell types it may take 68 weeks or longer for complete mixing to
occur. The specific gravity should be read before adding water.
