Inspection and
Cleaning
A visual inspection of the battery plant should be done on an annual
basis. If necessary, the battery modules and racks can be cleaned using
a soft cloth dampened in water or battery cleaning kit (available from
Lucent Technologies). The inter-battery connections should be
inspected for corrosion. Report any sign of acid or corrosion to Lucent
Technologies.
Re-torquing
Inter-battery
Connections
All battery connections (i.e. inter-battery, disconnect switch) made
during installation will require periodic re-torquing. Using an insulated
torque wrench, re-torque each connection to the torque recommended
for the battery.
Warning
An explosion could occur when sparks are created near the battery
string. Use insulated tools and discharge all static electricity from
your body before performing any work.
Caution
Over-tightening of connectors could strip or damage the bolt and/or
nut threads, resulting in loose connections that will increase circuit
resistance and operating temperatures.
