Polarization test
(a)
Charge the battery at 4.0 A for 1.5 hours
(b)
Keep the battery in open circuit condition for 1 hour
(c)
Measure the open circuit voltage of each cell
(d)
If the open circuit voltage of any cell is 0V (or negative polarity), perform a
Special Test (refer to paragraph 4) and repair if necessary.
(e)
If every cell has an open circuit voltage that is greater than 0 volts, charge
the battery (refer to section 3).
Vent valve (250) test
During charge, before putting the vent valve (250) back onto the cells, verify proper
operation.
(a)
Install the vent valve (250) with its O-ring on the end of a testing apparatus
(Refer to SPECIAL TOOLS, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT – Fig 9005).
(b)
Connect the apparatus to a supply of compressed air through an adjustable
reducing valve.
(c)
Adjust the pressure to 0.5 bar (7.25 psi) and put the vent-valve into a
container of water. Air bubbles will come out when the valve opens. If there
are no bubbles, increase the pressure until you see bubbles and note the
pressure.
(d)
Decrease the pressure slowly to 0.1 bar (1.45 psi) and note the pressure at
which the bubbles stop.

Electrolyte Check and Adjustment
The easiest tool to use to adjust the level of the electrolyte is a plastic syringe (T02) with a plastic
nozzle on the conical end.
The length of the nozzle that goes into the cell must be 20 mm (0.79 in). This is the distance
necessary between the seat of the vent-valve (250) and the electrolyte (refer to Figure 1003).
The maximum consumable amount of electrolyte for this battery is 25 cm3
(1.525 in3) per cell (refer to DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION).
NOTE:
Electrolyte Level Adjustment
Figure 1003
WARNING:
DO NOT USE ACID OR ACIDULATED WATER TO ADJUST THE ELECTROLYTE
LEVEL IN NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES. A VERY SMALL QUANTITY OF ACID
IS SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE. USE ONLY DISTILLED OR
DEIONIZED WATER (M01) (Refer to SPECIAL TOOLS, FIXTURES AND
EQUIPMENT)
A.
Insert the nozzle into the cell until the nozzle rests on the seat of the vent-valve opening. Pull
the syringe plunger up. If the level is not sufficient, the syringe tube stays empty when you
pull the plunger up. If there is too much electrolyte, the electrolyte is removed by the syringe
until the level aligns with the end of the nozzle. Discard any liquid drawn into the syringe
when leveling, do not reuse the liquid in other cells.
B.
If in check 4.A there is no liquid removed by the syringe, the level is not sufficient. Perform
the following to adjust the electrolyte:
Page
24-31-08
1006
Dec 30/2003
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
401176-9
(1)
Add a measured amount (5ml) of distilled or deionized water (M01), into the syringe
and inject it into the cell. Keep record of how much distilled or deionized water (M01)
is being injected into the cell during this procedure.
The amount of distilled or deionized water (M01) required to level the
first cell will serve as an approximate guide to the amount required for
the remaining cells in the battery. However, each cell must be adjusted
individually to ensure the correct level is achieved in each cell.
NOTE:
(2)
5.
Repeat check 4.A to check for correct level.
Discharge
A.
Initial Discharge and Capacity Test
The initial discharge can also be used to determine the capacity of the battery. The battery
should be discharged at a rate equal to its rated capacity.
(1)
For Initial Discharge (from aircraft or storage):
(a)
Discharge the battery at 40 A down to 20 V, monitoring the time from the
start of the discharge to the time the battery voltage (at the main terminals)
reaches 20 V.
The time should be greater than 30 minutes. If not, one of the following may
be the cause:
- There was a discharge performed after the last use of the battery onboard
the aircraft
- The aircraft charger may not be functioning properly
- If the battery was left idle for a time, self-discharge occurred
- The battery cells may be imbalanced and need servicing
(2)
For Capacity Test
(a)
Discharge the battery at 40 A, monitoring the time from the start of the
discharge to the time any of the cells voltage falls below 1 V. Mark the time
any cell in the battery reads below 1 V.
Each cell in the battery should maintain a voltage higher or equal to 1 V for a
full 51 minutes of discharge at 40 A. If one or more cells should fall below
1 V in less than 51 minutes, refer to Section 7 (FAULT ISOLATION).
B.
Residual Discharge
The Residual Discharge will clear the battery of all “residual” energy left in the battery after
the Initial Discharge or the Capacity Test. This procedure is to be performed after the battery
has been discharged to 1 V per cell.

6.
Once each cell is discharged to 1 V, connect a resistor approximately 1 Ω 3 W (T03)
across the cell terminals and continue to discharge each cell in the battery. Keep
these resistors in position for 12 to 16 hours, allowing the battery to cool.
Temperature Sensor Testing
Testing of the temperature sensor may require the use of a climatic chamber or other device that will
allow raising or lowering the temperature of components in the temperature sensor.
Refer to the SCHEMATIC AND WIRING DIAGRAM section for information on the specific layout of
the temperature sensor.

Storage and Transportation
1.
General Storage Information
CAUTION:
STORAGE FACILITIES FOR NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES SHOULD BE ENTIRELY
SEPARATE FROM THOSE FOR LEAD ACID BATTERIES. FUMES FROM LEAD ACID
BATTERIES OR TRACES OF SULFURIC ACID ENTERING A NICKEL-CADMIUM
BATTERY CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
The storage location should be free of acid, dust, or dampness. No corrosive liquids or gases
should be stored in the same room. Temperatures may range from -60°C (-75°F) to +60°C
(+140°F) without harming the battery. The most desirable range for storage is between 0°C
(32°F) to +30°C (+86°F).
2.
3.
Preparation for Storage
A.
In service batteries to be stored for less than 90 days should undergo completion of the
Regular Check or General Overhaul and be left in an airworthy status (discharged) (refer to
CHECK).
B.
In service batteries to be stored longer than 90 days should be discharged and placed in a
container suitable to the duration of storage (unsealed for < 2 years, sealed for >2 <10 years).
C.
Factory new batteries may be stored as received for a period of up to 24 months. Longer
storage duration requires placement in sealed packaging prior to storage.
Active Stand-By Storage
Active stand-by storage is to be used when the battery must be charged and ready for service
onboard an aircraft in a short period of time (less than 90 days). The length of time that a battery will
retain a minimum capacity (80%) will vary dependent upon the ambient temperature of the storage
environment (refer to Figure 15001). Saft recommends an active storage period of no more than 90
days before an appropriate check is performed on the battery. For storage longer than 90 days, see
procedures for Inactive Storage.

A.
Saft vented-cell aircraft batteries may be stored charged, ready for service in the normal
upright, or vertical position under the following conditions. Refer to Figure 15001 for the
approximate number of days a battery can be stored and retain a minimum of 80% capacity.
(1)
Battery fully serviced and charged prior to storage.
(2)
Storage temperature relative to number days of storage desired (see Fig 15001).
(3)
Atmosphere free of acid, dust and dampness.
(4)
No corrosive liquids or gases stored in the same room.
(5)
After 90 days, a Periodic Check must be performed (Section 5 CHECK - see Fig
5001).
NOTE:
Only two periodic checks can be performed 90 days apart, afterward a
Regular Check must be performed.

CAUTION:
B.
THE BATTERY MAY BE “TOPPED UP” TWO TIMES. ON THE THIRD TIME, A
PERIODIC CHECK MUST BE PERFORMED. FAILURE TO PERFORM THE
PERIODIC CHECK MAY RESULT IN LOW WATER AND PERMANENT DAMAGE
TO THE BATTERY.
As an alternative to (A), the battery may be kept at any temperature below 35°C (95°F) and
be “topped up” after 30 days by charging until the battery has reached the voltage specified in
Fig 15002.

Packing and Transporting
The normal packing for shipment of Saft Ni-Cd batteries is with fiberboard or injected foam packing
enclosed in fiberboard or wooden outer containers. For overseas shipments, wrapping in sealed
plastic is recommended. Precautions must be taken to keep batteries upright while in transit. All
markings and documentation should conform to current IATA regulations (UN2795 or UN2800 as
applicable) governing the shipment of vented Ni-Cd batteries
