This IEC Guide is applicable to lead-acid vented and valve regulated batteries, for use in Stationary Battery applications.
The object of the guide is as follows:
· To assist users in the selection of methods to obtain sufficient information to indicate the state of health of an operating stationary lead-acid battery.
· To achieve this by describing characteristics that can be electrically measured and remotely interrogated on a regular basis.
· To indicate the sensitivity and reliability of the measured data and to provide the user with methods of interpretation.
· To provide users with good operating characteristics and general guidelines.
