How do I dispose of lead acid batteries?

Do not dispose of lead acid batteries except through channels in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. This manual contains important instructions for Flooded Lead-Acid Battery Systems that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of the battery system.

Do flooded lead-acid batteries need maintenance?

Proper maintenance to the battery system of this unit must be done by a qualified service technician. This is essential to the safety and reliability of your power supply system. EnerSys flooded lead-acid batteries set the benchmark for reliability and durability in flooded lead-acid batteries and battery systems.

Where do I install a line-up and match Battery Cabinet?

Line-up-and-match battery cabinets are installed adjacent to the UPS. The recommended installation location is on the right side of the UPS cabinet as viewed from the front of the cabinet. See Figure 3 for line-up-and-match configuration views. Figure 3. Eaton 93PM 100 kW UPS and Two 93PM Integrated Battery Cabinets

What are the standards for sizing large lead acid storage batteries?

IEEE Standard 485–1997: “Recommended Practice for Sizing Large Lead Acid Storage Batteries for Generating Stations.” IEEE Standard 1187–2002: “Recommended Practice for Installation Design and Installation of Valve Regulated Lead-Acid Storage Batteries for Stationary Applications”.

Where should a valve-regulated lead-acid battery be mounted?

Valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries can be mounted on racks or in cabinets. The remainder of this paper will address considerations for VRLA placement. Size Generally speaking, the larger the battery (both physically and ampere-hour rated), the more likely a rack configuration will be considered.

What is the recommended operating temperature for lead-acid batteries?

The recommended operating temperature for lead-acid batteries is between 10 °C and 30 °C. Technical data is valid for the nominal temperature of 20 °C. The ideal operating temperature range is 20 °C ± 5 K. Higher temperatures shorten the service life of the battery. Lower tempe-ratures decrease battery capacity.
