23491 & 23491-3
(2) Operational data
- Operating temperature: -40 to +71°C (-40 to +160°F)
- Maximum instantaneous power :
- at +23°C (+74°F): 12V 15s 8.3kW,

C. Detailed description (Refer to pages 1001-0 to 1001-7)
The battery has 20 VO23KH (490A) cells housed in a stainless steel box.
The box (020A) has a lining of thin sheets of insulation (120A). A molded part (050A) made of
silicone elastomer keeps the cells vertical. This part is attached to the box cover which
pusches down the top of the cells. Rigids links (420A thru 480A), made nickel-plated copper,
connect the cells together. Rigid connections (420A and 440A) connect the end cells to an
electrical connector (310A).
This connector connects the battery to the aircraft.
The box (020A) has:
- a cover (030A) that you can remove and which has a non return
valve (060A),
- a vent tube,
- a handle.
2. Operation
A. Charge
(1) Flight charge
Adjust the recharger to make sure the battery is correctly charged in flight. Do a
recharger check as frequently as possible.
At the usual temperature of +20°C (+68°F), the constant charge voltage must be 28.5
volts. If the climatic or battery operating conditions cause the cell temperature to
increase to +40°C (+104°F), adjust the recharger to 27.5 to 28 volts. This is to prevent a
fast loss of the electrolyte reserve and a shorter life for the cells.
For a given voltage adjustment, the higher the battery temperature, the higher the
remaining charge current.
The consumption of water from the electrolyte is directly in proportion to the remaining
charge current. Thus it is necessary to accurately know the usual operating
temperature of the batteries to permit the batteries to be charged in the best conditions.

(2) Ground charge
Do all battery maintenance or overhaul steps in a workshop.
Note: In addition to the constant current and constant voltage methods of charging other
methods, such as combinaison of both or pulse charging, can be used.
If the specific instructions are not given in the operating manual, SAFT should
first be contacted.

- Do not install the battery in an aircraft location which is too hot
- Carefully obey the instructions that give the procedure to get a good flow of air
- Do a charge level check regularly. Charge the battery on the ground when the discharge is
not caused by an incorrect adjustment of the recharger.
- Regularly do these checks:
- Electrolyte level (specially when the weather is hot)
- Tightness of the connection nuts
- Adjustment of the recharger.

CLEANING
1. Light cleaning
- If a clean filtered supply of compressed air is available, do this procedure to easily and quickly
clean the cells: blow with much force across the tops of the cells to remove all dust and mineral
salts from the box.
- To prevent short-circuits, use a rubber tube or an insulating nozzle.
2. Full cleaning
Disassemble the battery (Refer to "DISASSEMBLY") and then clean all the components.
A. Cells:
- To easily remove all the electrolyte and mineral salts from the terminals, the covers and the
sides of the cell cases: clean in warm water with a soft brush.
- Make sure that the vented filler cap (safety cap) is tight.
- Do not soak the cells in water.
- Rub the cell with a cloth and let dry.
B. Box:
- Clean with water, rub with a cloth and let dry.
C. Nuts, spring washers and links:
- Clean in warm water with a brush and let dry.
D. Packing parts and sealed insulating liner:
- Clean in warm water and let dry.
E. vented filler caps:
- Remove the vented filler caps (Refer to "DISASSEMBLY").
- Put covers on the cell holes to keep out unwanted material.
- Soak the vented filler caps for some time (during the night, for example) in a container of
distilled water (or, if not available, in very clean tap water). Do this to remove all salts from the
vent hole.

24-30-00 June 01/94

SAFT
23491 & 23491-3
WARNING: DO NOT USE PETROL, TRICHLOROETHYLENE OR OTHER SOLVENTS.
- Before you put the vented filler caps back into the cells, make sure that they operate correctly.
Do these steps:
- Install the vented filler cap (500A) with its O-ring (510A) on the end of a metal tube that has a
correct end-piece.
- Connect this tube to a supply of compressed air through a vented filler cap of the adjustable
reducing type.
- Adjust the pressure to 0.5 bar (7.25 psi) and put the vented filler cap into a container of water.
Air bubbles come out if the vented filler cap is in good condition. If there are no bubbles,
increase the pressure until you see bubbles. Then decrease the pressure slowly to 0.1 bar
(1.45 psi) and monitor the pressure at which the air flow stops.
- Reject all vented filler caps that have an operating pressure of more than 0.7 bar (10 psi) (after
the check done before to make sure that the related cap operates correctly) or less than 0.14
bar (2 psi).
- Install the vented filler caps (Refer to "ASSEMBLY").
3. Lubrication
When the battery is clean (and after installation of the vented filler caps), put a thin layer of neutral
petrolatum (petrolatum that is not acid) or light oil on the terminals and the links. Use a paintbrush.

CHECK
1. Regular checks
You must do the checks which are necessary to use the SAFT 23491 and 23491-3 batteries in flight
and on the ground. But you must also do these maintenance steps during operation:
- Periodical check (in a workshop): adjustment of electrolyte levels
- Regular check (in a workshop): electrical treatment, adjustment of electrolyte levels, and capacity
test.
2. Maintenance steps in workshop
A. Periodical check
Periodically (at flight hour intervals such that the allowable water consumption is not exceeded):
- Clean the battery (See "CLEANING")
- Adjust the electrolyte level (Refer to (1)).
(1) Charge of the battery and adjustment of the electrolyte level:
- Discharge the remaining capacity at 23 amps down to a voltage of 20 volts at the battery
terminals.
- When the battery temperature is +20°C to +25°C (+68°F to +77°F) (usual temperature
range), charge the battery (Refer to one of the procedures given in "DESCRIPTION
AND OPERATION" for a fully discharged battery).
- During the last hour of the charge (while the charge current continues to flow), adjust the
level of the electrolyte in the cells. Then measure the voltages of each cell. Write the
quantity of water that is added to each cell.
- The electrolyte level changes with the battery charge. Thus you do not get the maximum
level until the battery is fully charged. The level changes as if the plates absorbed a
part of the electrolyte during the discharge and released it during the charge.
Page 501
24-30-00 June 01/94

SAFT
23491 & 23491-3
Thus the level checks are only satisfactory if they are done almost at the end of the
charge (but during the charge).
Leakage can occur during operation if you do not obey these instructions when you
add liquid. The level is correct when the distance between the seat of the vented filler
cap and the electrolyte is 20 mm (0.787in) (distance measured in the conditions given
before).
- If necessary, add distilled water to adjust the level to this value.
WARNING: DO NOT USE ACID OR ACIDULATED WATER to adjust the

electrolyte levels in nickel-cadmium cells. A very
small quantity of acid is sufficient to cause permanent
damage.
The easiest tool to adjust the level is a plastic syringe tube (equivalent to that used for
medical injections, with a plastic nozzle on the conical end).
The length of the nozzle which goes into the cell must be 20 mm (0.787in) ; this is the
distance necessary between the seat of the vented filler cap and the electrolyte (Refer
to figure 501).
To adjust the level, keep the shoulder of the syringe nozzle against the seat of the
vented filler cap and pull the plunger up:
20 mm
Level adjustment with a syringe and a calibrated nozzle

Figure 501
Page 502
24-30-00 June 01/94

SAFT
23491 & 23491-3
- If the level is not sufficient, the syringe tube stays empty when you pull the plunger.
- If there is too much liquid, this liquid is removed by the syringe until the level aligns with
the end of the nozzle.
If this check shows that the level is not sufficient in some cells, add distilled water to
these cells. (The syringe is small ; it can thus be necessary to do this step more than
one time for each cell).
The level is correct when only a small quantity of liquid goes into the syringe when you
pull the plunger. To do this check (after water is added to the cell), keep the shoulder
of the syringe nozzle against the seat of the vented filler cap.
- Results of the above procedure:
- The battery operates correctly if:
- The voltage of each cell measured during the last hour of charge at 2.3 amps is not
less than 1.50 volt (1.47 volt at +35°C (95°F)).
- Approximately the same quantity of distilled water was added to each cell. This
quantity must be less than 21cm3 (1.29in3).
- If the quantity of water added to all cells is more than 21cm3 (1.29in3): make sure that
the voltage adjustment in relation to the temperature during the charge is correct. Also
do the electrolyte level check more frequently.
- Do a full overhaul of the battery (Refer to paragraph 3 "General overhaul"):
- If the quantity of water necessary for one or more cell(s) is much higher or smaller
than for the other cells.
- If the voltage of each cell measured at the end of a 2.3 amps charge is less than
1.50 volt (1.47 volt at +35°C (95°F)) (Refer to "TESTING AND FAULT
ISOLATION").
(2) Clean the vented filler caps (Refer to "CLEANING") when you adjust the electrolyte levels.
(3) Make sure the cell terminal nuts are tight.
Make sure that all the nuts that attach the links are torqued to 8 ±2N.m (5.90 ±1.47ft.lbf).
(4) Do an insulation check (Refer to paragraph 3.E).

B. Regular check
1) At the time of a second periodical check OR AFTER A MAXIMUM OF SIX MONTHS, do this
battery test (also do the steps given in paragraph 2.A):
- Discharge the remaining capacity at 23 amps down to a voltage of 20 volts at the battery
terminals.
- Measure the time from the start of discharge to the time when the voltage is 20 volts.
- Connect a resistor of approximately 1 Ω 3 W (refer to fig. 903) across each cell and
continue to discharge. Resistors with crocodile clips attached to their leads can be easily
attached to the cell terminals.
- Let the resistors stay in position for the night.
2) Remove all resistors, charge the battery (Refer to "DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION" for a
fully discharged battery).
- Adjust the electrolyte level in the cells (Refer to paragraph 2.A (1)). Then measure the
voltage of each cell during the last hour of the charge. Also write the quantity of distilled
water added to each cell.
- Immediately after the charge and the level adjustment, discharge the battery again at 23
amps down to 20 volts; measure the terminal voltage of each cell. Write the time that is
necessary for this second discharge.
- Results of the above tests:
The battery operates correctly if:
- The time necessary for the first discharge (paragraph 2.B (1)) is more than 30 minutes,
- The time necessary for the second discharge (paragraph 2.B (2)) is not less than 51
minutes,
- The voltage of each cell measured during the last hour of the charge at 2.3 amps is not
less than 1.50 volt (1.47 volt at +35°C (95°F)),
- The quantity of distilled water added to each cell is approximately equal to or less than
21cm3 (1.29in3).
Page 504
24-30-00 June 01/94

SAFT
23491 & 23491-3
- If the first discharge time is less than 30 minutes but the second discharge time is correct:
the battery is in good condition but was not fully charged when removed from the aircraft.
This condition can be caused by:
- An incorrect charge in the aircraft.
- And/or a discharge caused by an unusual operation of the battery after landing.
Do a full overhaul of the battery (paragraph 3) if:
- The second discharge time is less the correct one or one cell has a voltage of less than
1 volt (or incorrect polarity before 1 hour of discharge).
- The voltage of each cell measured during the last hour of charge at 2.3 amps is less than
1.50 volt (1.47 volt at +35°C (95°F)).
- The quantity of distilled water necessary for one or more cell(s) is much higher or smaller
than for the other cells.
NOTE: The consumption of water by a SAFT nickel-cadmium cell is in proportion to

the unwanted charge.
Thus, the consumption must be the same for all the 20 cells in the battery.
The quantity of water necessary for one or more cell(s) (in the same battery) can be much
higher (or smaller) than the other cells. Then there is a defect:
- High consumption is usually caused by a leakage.
- Low consumption is caused by a damaged separator.
- The consumption is incorrect when it is 25 % more or less than the average.

REPAIR
1. Battery condition
Do a polarisation test (Refer to paragraph 2) if you find these defects on the battery (after a
removal that was not scheduled or before regular maintenance):
- The polarity of the cells is incorrect
- The battery open voltage is less than 21 V.
Do an added test (Refer to paragraph 3) if you find these defects on the battery (during regular
maintenance or general overhaul):
- The voltages at the end of the charge are too low
- The voltage during the charge is too high
- The capacity is not sufficient
- The water consumption is incorrect.
2. Polarisation test
- Charge the battery at 2.3 amps for 1.5 hour.
- Keep the battery in the "open circuit" condition for 1 hour.
- Measure the open voltage of every cell.
If the cell open voltage is 0 volt (or opposite), do an added test (refer to paragraph 3). Then repair.
If each cell has an open voltage that is more than 0 volt, charge the battery (Refer to one of the
procedures given in "DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION", paragraph 2.A (2), for a fully discharged
battery).
Page 601
24-30-00 June 01/94

SAFT
23491 & 23491-3
3. Added electrical test before repair
The first test charge can be unsatisfactory if the electrolyte level is too low in some cells (the level
is not adjusted until the end of this charge). If you find defects, do a second test:
- Charge the battery (Refer to one of the procedures given in "DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION",
paragraph 2.A (2), for a fully discharged battery). At the end of the total charge time, continue to
charge at 2.3 amps for 5 more hours. Regularly write the voltage and temperature of the cells.
The temperature of the cells that have damaged separators increases very much and
continuously. The voltage of these cells continuously decreases to less than 1.50 volt (1.47 volt
at +35°C (95°F)).
NOTE: When you charge the battery more than necessary, you decrease the life of the cells.
Thus, do this special test only if:
- A battery malfunction occurred in the aircraft
- Defects were found during shop maintenance.
- Adjust the electrolyte level during the last one of the 5 last hours of charge.
- Discharge at 23 amps down to 20 volts.
After this test, discard the defective cells:
- Cells with a voltage of less than 1.50 volt (1.47 volt at +35°C (95°F)) at the end of the charge.
- Cells with a voltage that decreases to less than 1 volt before one hour of discharge (during the
last test discharge).
- Short-circuited cells (zero volt).
