本推荐规程提供了通风铅酸蓄电池的储存、定位、安装、通风、仪表、预装配、组装和充电的推荐设计规程和程序。还包括所需的安全实践。本推荐规程适用于全浮子固定应用，其中电池充电器通常保持电池完全充电并提供直流（dc）负载。然而，特定应用，如应急照明装置、半便携式设备和替代能源应用，可能有其他超出本推荐实施规程范围的适当实践。 本推荐规程中与人员安全相关的部分为强制性说明，并由“应”一词指定；然而，所有其他部分都是推荐做法，并由“应该”一词指定。 尺寸、维护、容量测试、充电设备、干充电装置以及其他类型电池的考虑超出了本推荐规程的范围。

This recommended practice provides recommended design practices and procedures for storage, location, mounting, ventilation, instrumentation, preassembly, assembly, and charging of vented lead-acid batteries. Required safety practices are also included. This recommended practice is applicable to full-float stationary applications where a battery charger normally maintains the battery fully charged and supplies the direct current (dc) loads. However, specific applications, such as emergency lighting units, semiportable equipment, and alternate energy applications, may have other appropriate practices that are beyond the scope of this recommended practice. The portions of this recommended practice that specifically relate to personnel safety are mandatory instructions and are designated by the word shall; however, all other portions are recommended practices and are designated by the word should. Sizing, maintenance, capacity testing, charging equipment, dry-charged units, and consideration of other types of batteries are beyond the scope of this recommended practice.
