HAS A COMMISSIONING CHARGE BEEN PERFORMED? Y N AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (˚C or ˚F):
All readings should be taken with the battery stabilized on float charge. All specific gravity readings must be temperature corrected. Do not add water before readings are taken. For charging parameters, please refer to our product user guide.
Readings taken from Pos(+) to Neg(-) end of battery string.

COMMISSIONING CHARGE
A refresh charge (or “boost charge”) is recommended before putting batteries into service. The recommended refresh charge parameters are as follows,
1. Charge current of 10-15A per 100 Ah C10 until 2.40 V/cell is reached (3-5 Hrs)
2. Charge at 5A per 100 Ah C10 V/cell for 14 hours (voltage exceeds 2.40 V/cell)
3. Rest 1 hour
4. Charge with 5A per 100 Ah C10 for 4 hours

|
Vent Cap/Float Vents (Good Condition, No Damage)
|
Repeat steps 3 and 4 (max 5 times) until the following criteria is met,
1. All cells/blocks exceed 2.60 V/cell
2. Electrolyte density of each cell does not deviate more than ±0.015 kg/l from the average value
Notes:
Do not allow temperatures to exceed 55˚C (131˚F), continue operation when below 45˚C (113˚F).
Top up with demineralized water to upper electrolyte level mark Electrolyte density must not differ more than 0.015 kg/l between cells
