material or staining from leaking electrolyte would indicate rough handling. If such conditions are found, make notation on delivery receipt before signing. If battery damage is found, request an inspection by the carrier and file a damage claim. Also notify your GNB® Industrial Power representative.
connecting the battery string to the charger/load, measure the total voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be equal to the number of cells times the voltage of one cell. For example, 60 cells times 2.09 volts per cell = 125.40 volts (1.250 SG) or 60 cells times 2.05 volts per cell = 123.0 volts (1.215 SG). 4.3 TEMPERATURE A battery location having an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F) will result in optimum battery life.
decreases as the battery is discharged and increases as the battery is recharged.

The correction factor is added to the measured battery voltage above 77°F(25°C). The correction factor is subtracted from the measured battery voltage below 77°F(25°C). indicator of the battery condition between scheduled overall individual cell readings. 11.2 It is recommended that a different pilot cell be selected each year to provide a representative specific gravity for the battery. Example: Cell Voltage Readings Cell Temperature 2.300 2.300 2.

STATIONARY BATTERY PLASTIC CELL NUMERAL APPLICATION To insure proper adhesion of the pressure sensitive plastic cell numerals, and polarity markings supplied with your GNB® Flooded Classic Battery, the following procedure should be followed: 4. Numerals are shipped mounted on a plastic backing strip. They are easily removed by peeling back the plastic strip. Keep finger contact with adhesive backing on numeral to a minimum. 1.
