BATTERY SYSTEMS CHAPTER 6: POWER SOURCES • Where applicable, provisions shall be made to exhaust gases produced by batteries For wet cell batteries the manufacturer-specified stationary battery flame-arresting vent shall be installed on each cell. This vent shall be secure, clean, and in good repair to help ensure maximum protection against potential explosion. Sealed batteries do not have an opening for adding electrolyte. However, there is generally a small vent hole that opens as required to vent internal gasses. There are two methods which may be used to vent battery gases: • Use an exhaust fan on a timer, changing the total room air four times per hour. • Use a manifold system that consists of tubing connected to each cell and vented to the outside. NOTE: In most cases, sealed batteries do not require venting. Check local codes for applicability. Check the labels on the batteries for the proper protection based on that particular type of battery. • Batteries shall be kept clean to reduce short circuit hazards, rack corrosion and the possibility of electrical shock. Clean batteries with clear water if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners, detergents or petroleum-based cleaning products on battery container. • Battery banks consisting of multiple cells with circuit protection greater than 20 amperes shall have 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) or greater thickness polycarbonate or hard rubber protective shield installed on a support frame and securely mounted in front of the battery rack to protect personnel should there be a violent structural failure of any cell(s). This protective shield shall extend from 76 mm (3 in.) above to 76 mm (3 in.) below the height of the cells being protected. • When batteries are located in an area that is accessible to persons other than qualified system maintenance personnel, an additional protective shield as described above shall be installed to cover the top of all cells and battery circuit conductors to prevent conductive materials from contacting battery posts or circuit conductors on top of the cells. 6.7.2 BATTERY CONTAINMENT AREA The following requirements and considerations shall be observed when specifying and laying out a battery containment area: • Certain areas may require use of UL listed Intrinsically Safe vent fans, electrical, and electronic equipment. See NFPA 70-2005, Article 500 through 505. • NFPA signs advising the fire department of reactivity with water shall be posted. (NFPA 70E, Section 1-8.2.3). • Separate battery rooms (especially for flooded cell types) that are sealed from adjoining rooms and properly vented to the building exterior are recommended. These conditions may also be required by local codes. • Where battery systems use a total electrolyte volume greater than 3.79 L (1 gallon), cell assemblies, and containment/neutralization provisions shall conform with NFPA 111. WARNING Appropriate signage shall be present on doors leading to battery rooms and within the room itself, notifying personnel of explosion, chemical, and electrical hazards within the area. Appropriate fire extinguisher(s) shall be present in battery room, as dictated by local code. 6-30 68P81089E50-B 9/1/05
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATION SITES BATTERY SYSTEMS At sites where batteries constructed with bolt-on terminal connections are used, the following items shall be provided: • Connector bolt wrench (nonconductive) • Lifting sling and spreader block if applicable • Container of non-oxidation material for coating electrical connections • At sites with flooded lead-acid batteries, the following items shall be provided: • Hydrometer with markings every 10 points • Acid-resistant container for storing the hydrometer • Thermometer, battery 6.7.3 BATTERY BACKUP DURATION Typically, a two hour battery backup provision is standard practice for shelter installations. This is based on the assumption that 2 hours is the nominal amount of time in which a technician would be able to respond and correct a site power problem for most urban locations. For remote sites, 4 hours or more may be necessary to respond and take action. Battery backup requirements can range from a few minutes to many hours, depending of the system application and customer requirements. Backup of less than one hour is considered to be a high rate of discharge application. NOTE: Because the battery backup typically will not provide for power to the HVAC system, temperature related shutdown (due to temperature shutdown circuitry in repeaters) shall be considered in determining the maximum operational period under backup conditions. In some cases, thermal shutdown can occur well before basic battery exhaustion. 6.7.3.1 HIGH RATE OF DISCHARGE If the battery plant will be used in a high rate application, or if an existing plant is to be converted to a high rate application, consult the battery manufacturer because this may require batteries specifically designed for high rate applications. High rate plants may require that the size of hardware used to connect the cell into a string be sufficiently large as to accommodate the additional heat generated by high rates of discharge. 6.7.3.2 LONG DURATION BACKUP Battery backup of many hours may be desired, and can be designed for, but may not always be achievable. Long term outages are caused by loss of AC from the utility company and/or the standby generator. During long term outages, the HVAC (heat, ventilation, and air conditioning) system is also disabled. Depending on the site and the equipment being powered by the batteries, significant thermal rise or fall may occur. If the outage persists long enough, thermal shutdown due to loss of HVAC may be the true limiting factor in backup duration. Given the heat generated by the equipment and a potential range of outside ambient conditions, an HVAC contractor should be consulted to determine the amount of time it will take for the site to reach the high or low limits of the equipment's operating temperature range. For worse-case calculations, battery backup durations exceeding this time are not recommended. 68P81089E50-B 9/1/05 6-31
