20.3 Maintenance Records
A complete recorded history of the battery operation is essential for obtaining satisfactory
performance. Good records will show when corrective action may be required to eliminate
possible charging, maintenance or environmental problems.
Should you have ANY questions concerning how to perform the required maintenance,
contact your nearest EnerSys

Accumulate and permanently record the following data for review by supervisory
personnel so that any necessary remedial action may be taken:
1. Upon completion of the initial charge and with the battery on float charge at the
proper voltage for one (1) week, read and record the following:
• individual cell or unit voltages (volts)
• cell-to-cell connection resistance (ohms)
• terminal connection resistance (ohms)
• ambient temperature in the immediate battery environment (˚F or ˚C
)
