This course is designed to introduce participants to industrial battery systems, battery cells, and how to inspect and test batteries. After completing this course, participants should know the characteristics and basic operation of a typical battery system and its components. They should also understand how to inspect and perform basic tests on industrial batteries.
Describe a typical industrial battery system.
List the basic components of a lead-acid cell.
Describe the electrochemical action in a cell that is charging.
Describe the electrochemical action in a cell that is discharging.
State the voltage rating for a typical cell at full charge.
Explain a cell's capacity rating.
Briefly describe the relationship of cell capacity, voltage, and specific gravity during discharge and recharge.
Describe the functions of a typical battery system charger.
List the common components of most battery chargers and describe their functions.
List the protective equipment and safety procedures associated with working on batteries.
Describe typical visual inspection checks.
State the purpose of and describe the basic steps for checking intercell and terminal connection resistances.
State the purpose of and describe the basic steps for checking specific gravity.
Explain the effect of temperature on specific gravity.
