2.2 Definitions

Partial Discharged Condition of a battery- It is the condition reached when the battery has been discharged to the point it can no longer deliver its rated output within the permissible tolerances, Float Charging- It is passing of an electric current through a battery by applying a constant voltage from the rectifier/charger, such as to restore the battery to a predetermined state of charge in a limited time span. Quick Charging- It is passing of an electric current through a battery by applying a controlled voltage from the rectifier/charger, such as to restore the battery to a predetermined state of charge in a limited time span. Starting Voltage- It is the voltage present at the battery terminals when it starts to discharge. Final (or end of discharge) Voltage- It is the voltage at which battery discharge is terminated. Nominal Capacity of a VRLA cell- It is a reference value, to be declared by the manufacturer,which is valid for the discharge of a new cell at the reference temperature of 25 Deg C and a discharge current= in which discharge time is 20 hours to a final voltage of 1.75 volts. For nickel cadmium cell, it is the quantity of electricity C5Ah declared by the manufacturer which a single cell can deliver when discharged at a reference test current of 0.2ItA to a final voltage of 1.0 volts at 20 Deg C after charging, storing and discharging under the conditions specified in IEC 60623.

Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)- Represents the predicted duration of trouble free operation and is calculated as follows: MTBF (hours) = Operating hours/ Number of faults resulting in outrage

Non- Flame Propagating Material- It is one, which, without any further admixture, will not, when ignited, continue to burn nor cause other material, in contact with or adjacent to it, to ignite. Valve regulated Cell- It is secondary cell which is closed under normal conditions but which has an arrangement which allows the escape of gas if the internal pressure exceeds predetermined value. The cell cannot normally receive addition to the electrolyte.
