To Order Call Toll Free: Eagle Eye Power Solutions IEEE Solutions Eagle Eye Power Solutions understands the importance of testing and maintaining batteries per IEEE standards. The most common IEEE standards for battery maintenance, testing & monitoring are below: IEEE 450-2010 is the recommended practice for maintenance, testing, and replacement of Vented Lead-Acid (VLA) stationary batteries. IEEE 1188-2005 is the recommended practice for maintenance, testing, and replacement of Valve-Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries for stationary applications. IEEE BATTERY TESTING SOLUTIONS IEEE 1106-2005 is the recommended practice for maintenance, testing, and replacement of Vented Nickel-Cad mium Batteries (NiCad) for stationary applications. IEEE 1491-2005 is for Selection and Use of Battery Monitoring Equipment in Stationary Applications. MONTHLY INSPECTIONS VLA VRLA NiCd Maintenance Activities (Perform ALL items checked for your battery type) EEPS Solution Verify float voltage at the battery terminals Inspect general appearance and cleanliness of battery room or cabinet, racks, and batteries. Inspect for evidence of terminal, connector, and rack corrosion Verify charger output current and voltage Verify battery electrolyte levels ELM-Series / SG-Series Verify ambient temperature and ventilation systems BMS-Series / IBEX-Series Inspect for any unintentional battery grounds Record pilot cell’s voltage, specific gravity, and electrolyte level Inspect all installed battery monitoring systems are operational BMS-Series / ELM-Series Maintenance Activities VRLA NiCd Maintenance Activities (Perform ALL items checked for your battery type EEPS Solution in addition to monthly inspections) BMS-Series / IBEX-Series Verify specific gravity of at minimum 10% of battery string cells Verify voltage of each cell Verify temperature of a representative sample of at minimum 10% of the battery cells BMS-Series / BTM-Series Verify float voltage & current at the battery terminals BMS-Series/ IBEX-Series Verify cell internal ohmic resistance values BMS-Series / IBEX-Series VRLA NiCd Verify AC ripple current Record each cell temperature Verify cell-to-cell terminal connection resistance BMS-Series/ IBEX-Series Inspect cell condition of each cell in contrast to the monthly inspection. Verify the structural integrity of the battery rack EEPS Solution Verify specific gravity of all battery cells Maintenance Activities (Must perform ALL items checked for your battery type in addition to monthly and quarterly inspections)
