3.1.3 Battery Location
Temperature is a major factor in determining the battery life and
capacity. Battery manufacturers quote figures for an operating
temperature of 20
°
C. Operating above this temperature will reduce
the battery life, operation below this temperature will reduce the
battery capacity. On a normal installation the battery temperature is
maintained between 15
°
C and 25
°
C. Batteries should be mounted in
an environment where the temperature is consistent and even over
the whole battery. Keep batteries away from main heat sources or
main air inlets etc.
Pedestals are required for the battery cabinets when they are located
on raised floors, in the same way as for the UPS cabinets.
