IEEE Recommended Practice for Installation Design and Installation of Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid Batteries for Stationary Applications
standard by IEEE, 05/31/2002
Full Description
Scope
This document provides recommended design practices and procedures for storage, location, mounting, ventilation, instrumentation, preasembly, assembly, and charging of valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries in stationary applications.
Purpose
As part of its 5-year life cycle, the Recommended Practice should be updated to be consistent with similar Recommended Practices. The general understanding of VRLA batteries has improved since the original release of this document, and this will be reflected in the update.
Abstract
Revision Standard - Superseded.This recommended practice provides guidance for the installation and installation designof valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries. This recommended practice is intended for all float-service stationary installations. However, specific applications, such as emergency lighting units and semi-portable equipment, may have other appropriate practices and are beyond the scope ofthis recommended practice. Alternate energy applications are not covered.
