Introduction
1.1
Purpose
This Practice provides the requirements including design, installation, inspection,
testing, shipment, and documentation for the purchase of battery chargers for
application in process industries.
1.2
Scope
This Practice and Data Sheet define the minimum requirements for an electronically
controlled indoor battery charger used for charging batteries for station applications.
These include requirements for design, inspection, testing, shipment, and
documentation for indoor non-classified areas.
2.
References
Applicable requirements in the latest edition (or the edition indicated) of the following
industry standards and Process Industry Practices shall be considered an integral part of this
Practice. Short titles will be used herein when appropriate.

Definitions
For the purposes of this Practice, the following definitions apply:
Equalizing charge: An extended charge to a measured end point that is given to a storage
battery to ensure the complete restoration of the active materials in all the plates of all the
cells
Floating charge: A method of operation for storage batteries in which a constant voltage is
applied to the battery terminals sufficient to maintain an approximately constant state of
charge
Full float operation: Operation of a DC system with the battery charger and load cell
connected in parallel and with the battery charger supplying the normal DC load, plus any
self discharge or charging current or both required by the battery. (The battery will deliver
current only when the load exceeds the charger output.)
Percent ripple voltage: The ratio of the root mean square value of the ripple voltage to the
absolute value of the total voltage expressed as a percentage
Ripple: The alternating current component from a direct current power supply arising from
sources within the power supply

battery bank and, at the same time, deliver 0%100%-rated current output to
a varying on-line load.
4.1.3
The charger shall maintain the preset output DC voltage regulation to the
connected load with the battery connected to the charger.

4.3.2
4.3.3
AC Line Compensation
The charger shall maintain the specified performance by providing automatic
compensation for up to 10% variation in the AC line voltage.
4.3.4
Input Surge
The input circuits of the charger shall withstand the surge test specified in
NEMA PE 5-1996, Section 9.1.9.
4.3.5
4.3.6
4.3.7
DC Output Ripple
With the battery connected, the root mean square (RMS) ripple voltage shall
not exceed the limits specified in NEMA PE 5-1996, Table 6.
4.3.8
4.3.9
Float Voltage
The float voltage setting shall be adjustable as follows:
a. Lead-acid battery - 2.15 to 2.35 volts per cell
b. Nickel-cadmium battery - 1.35 to 1.45 volts per cell
