Batteries-Quizlet Flashcards
UPS
Uninterrtible Power Suppply
Batteries contain these 2 chemicals
Sulphuric acid, lead
Batteries must follow guidleines from these 2 oragizatioins
EPA, OSHA
Batteries produce what type of gas when charging
Hydrogen
OSHA requires a wash station must be within of operating and handling charging areas
25 ft
This chemical in battery attacks the central nervous system in your body
lead
Batteries can weigh from
45 - 65 lbs
Regulatory battery reports must be completed how often
Monthly
Regulatory battery reports must be sent how often
Quarterly
When stacking batteries it must be to a max of
5
How often should batteries be inspected to ensure optimal per- formance, range in months
3 - 6 months
What are the 3 methods to test a battery
load test, voltage test, conductance test
This is the most accurate and reliable test to for batteries
load test
When conducting the voltage test batteries differences should not exceed
.3 VDC
This test involves measuring the impedance of a battery
Conductance test
Which company do you notify if you have a hazardous spill
3E 3eonline.com
PPE required when handling batteries
hard hat, safety glasses, resistant gloves & apron, boots
When stacking bateries they should be seperated by this
wood
Battery terminals should be covered by
plastic or rubber caps
Batteries should be stored in this postion
Upright
Batteries should be stored with edeges at a minimum to ensure that leaks will not spread
4 inches
Best place to carry batteries
From the bottom
Batteries less than this % of conductance values are known to be bad
50%
Battery acid in eyes flush water for atleast this long
15 mins
site to report acid spills

Float charge voltage for a battery string should be within this amount of mVDC from the temperature compensated charger voltage
30%
List the 5 symptoms a technicain should look for when physically inspecting batteries
cracks, leaks, acid residue, discoloration, swelling (clads)
Number of years a battery date code should not exceed
6
Battery termainal connectors should be torqued to this many pounds, at installation
75 lbs
Battery terminals should be torqued to this many pouns during routine maitenance
60 lbs
the difference between any batteries in the string should not be greater than this, in VDC
0.3
it takes this long for the battery voltage to stabilize under loaded conditions, range in mins
8 to 10
Power supply output voltage should fall between this percentage of the nameplate value
plus or minus 5 %
ATS
Automatic transer switch
LAP
Lightening arrestor protector
XPDR
Transponder
TMPR
tamper
SPI
Service Power Inserter
Power supplies should be visted at least this many time a year
1
Battery maintenance should be conducted in this temperature range in F and C
32 - 100 f and 0 to 38 C
proper way to storage battery
sencondary contamination
use these two substances to clean any corrosion or excessive dirt from the battery itself
baking soda and water
This is the minimum space required between batteries
1/4 inch
RTS
Remote Temperature sensor
PTS
Precision temperature sensor
Ensure the battery is in this charger mode
Float
a unit of conductance equal to the reciprocal of the ohm
mho (opposite of ohm)
a unit of conductance in the meter-kilogram-second system equivalent to one ampere per volt
siemens
to test for conductance these two tools are required
conductance meter and thermator
conductanve test drop of this percentage indicates battery should be replaced
greater than 60%
Rule of thumb with siemens value with temperature
2 degree is adjusted by .7 %
The 10 min self test, at which minute do you record the individual battery voltages
9th minute
During the self test, if voltage drops below this amount you must replace battery, in VDC
10.8
An electronic instrument that is capable of measuring voltage, and sometimes also current and resistance
Digital Voltmeter (DMM)
A housing, cabinet, pedestal or other protective covering for elec- tronic or electrical components or equipment.
Encolsure
A component used to protect an electrical or electronic circuit or device from an over- current condition
fuse
A device or circuit that converts direct current electricity to alter- nating current electricity
inverter
