描述了定义直流负载和确定铅酸蓄电池大小的方法，以便为浮动服务中的固定蓄电池应用提供该负载。提供了一些与细胞选择有关的因素以供考虑。安装、维护、鉴定、测试程序以及对铅酸以外电池类型的考虑超出了本推荐规程的范围。直流系统的设计和电池充电器的尺寸也超出了本推荐规程的范围。

Methods are described for defining the dc load and for sizing a lead-acid battery to supply that load for stationary battery applications in float service. Some factors relating to cell selection are provided for consideration. Installation, maintenance, qualification, testing procedures, and consideration of battery types other than lead acid are beyond the scope of this recommended practice. The design of the dc system and sizing of the battery charger(s) are also beyond the scope of this recommended practice.
