OnLine Power PBC I - Manual (Page 42)

Load Testing:
• Load testing shall only be performed as a bench test.
• While on open circuit, place 100 amp load across each battery for a period of 30 seconds.
• Measure and record end of discharge (E.O.D.) voltage at 30 seconds.
• Calculate average and compare results against value of 10.95
for Type PRC 1250XL E.O.D.@ 30 Seconds and 100 amp load.
• If calculated average E.O.D. of group is observed as being normal, identify and replace
individual batteries with values that are 10% less than the group average.
General Equipment Requirements:
• Digital voltmeter- 3 1/2 digit, minimum 0.25% accuracy.
• Load tester (100 amps) with digital voltage readout, minimum 0.25% accuracy.
• Therometer- thermocouple, contact type, 1
0
C accuracy.
Battery Date Coding:
• The manufacturer stamps the negative terminal post of the battery, with the month and year
date code.
• Shelf life is based on normal storage temperature conditions, 66
0
F ~ 90
0
F and requires
recharging every 6 months from the last full charge date.
WARNING!
• Battery shelf life, when stored under temperature conditions of 66ºF ~ 90ºF is five(5) months
maximum after the ship date.
• Battery must be recharged after this date otherwise they will be damaged.
