psi) and/or remain open at a pressure less than 0.14 bars (2 psi).
(f) Install the vent-valve (240) (Refer to ASSEMBLY).
(4) Special Test
CAUTION: WHEN YOU CHARGE THE BATTERY MORE THAN NECESSARY,

YOU DECREASE THE LIFE OF THE CELLS. PERFORM THIS
SPECIAL TEST ONLY WHEN SPECIFIED IN SECTION CHECK.
(a) If the battery is discharged, charge the battery fully (refer to section 3) then
continue to step (b). If the battery is already charged, continue to step (b).
(b) Continue to charge the battery at 2.3 A (23180) or 2.2 A (23186) for an
additional 5 hours, regularly recording the voltage of each cell.
NOTE: The temperature of cells that have damaged separators will

increase significantly and continuously, and the voltage will
continually decrease (over 0.1 V).
(c) At the end of the additional 5-hour charge, mark any cell with a voltage less
than 1.50 V for replacement.
(d) With current still flowing, adjust the electrolyte in all cells.
(e) Discharge the battery down to 0 V (Initial and Residual discharges) (Refer to
section 5)
(f) Replace any defective cells (Refer to DISASSEMBLY and ASSEMBLY).
(g) Charge the battery (Refer to section 3).

onboard charger.
NOTE: The decrease of water from the cells is in direct proportion to the overcharge
the battery receives.
Page 1004
24-30-05 April 15/2002

23180 / 23186
B. Ground Charge
The following charging procedures are to be carried out in an appropriately equipped

workshop.
CAUTION: REMOVE THE COVER TO CHARGE BATTERY. THIS IS TO MAKE SURE

THAT HYDROGEN GAS WILL NOT COLLECT IN THE BATTERY CASE.
CAUTION: WHEN THE BATTERY IS CHARGED IN EXCESS OF THE TIMES AND

RATES LISTED IN THE TABLE BELOW, THE LIFE OF THE CELLS IS
DECREASED.
(1) Constant current charge
(a) To charge a fully discharged battery, perform one of the Main Charge
procedures listed in the table below followed by the corresponding Final
Charge procedure.
CONSTANT CURRENT CHARGE

Main Charge Final Charge (overcharge)
0.1 C1A 2.3 A (23180) 2.2 A (23186)
0.1C1A for 4 hours
until 30.0 V as battery voltage
2.3 A – 23180
Minimum time: 10 hr 2.2 A – 23186
Times: All cells must be above 1.50 V at end of charge
Maximum time: 12 hr
0.5 C1A 11.5 A (23180) 11.0 A (23186)
0.1C1A for 4 hours
until 31 V as battery voltage
2.3 A – 23180
Maximum time: 2 hr 30 min
1C1A 23.0 A (23180) 22.0 A (23186)
0.1C1A for 4 hours
until 31.4 V as battery voltage
2.3 A – 23180
Maximum time: 1 hr 15 min
NOTE: If during the Main Charge, the battery has not increased to the required voltage in the
maximum charge time, proceed to the Final Charge. Do not continue to charge the
battery at the high rate. If at the end of the Final Charge, all cells are not above the
required voltage, refer to Fault Isolation.
(b) For a battery not fully discharged or when the level of charge is unknown:
1 Discharge at 1C1A down to 20 V (refer to Discharge section 5)
2 Charge: Refer to B (1)(a) for constant current charging instructions.
Page 1005
24-30-05 April 15/2002

23180 / 23186
(2) Other types of Charging: In addition to the constant current method of charging,
other methods that fully charge the battery can be used. HOWEVER, IN EVERY
CASE, CELL VOLTAGE CHECKS (U > 1.5 V) AND ELECTROLYTE
ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE CARRIED OUT USING A FINAL CHARGE AT
CONSTANT CURRENT: 3.6 A AT 0.1 C1A. If specific instructions are not given in the
charger operating manual, Saft should be contacted before charging.
4. Electrolyte Check and Adjustment
The easiest tool to use to adjust the level of the electrolyte is a plastic syringe (T02) with a plastic
nozzle on the conical end.
The length of the nozzle that goes into the cell must be 20 mm (0.79 in). This is the distance
necessary between the seat of the vent-valve (240) and the electrolyte (refer to Figure 1003).
3 3
NOTE: The maximum consumable amount of electrolyte for this battery is 21 cm (1.464 in )
per cell (refer to DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION).
20mm
Electrolyte Level Adjustment

Figure 1003
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ACID OR ACIDULATED WATER TO ADJUST THE ELECTROLYTE

LEVEL IN NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES. A VERY SMALL QUANTITY OF ACID
IS SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
A. Insert the nozzle into the cell until the nozzle rests on the seat of the vent-valve opening. Pull
the syringe plunger up. If the level is not sufficient, the syringe tube stays empty when you
pull the plunger up. If there is too much electrolyte, the electrolyte is removed by the syringe
until the level aligns with the end of the nozzle. Discard any liquid drawn into the syringe
when leveling, do not reuse the liquid in other cells.
B. If in check 4.A there is no liquid removed by the syringe, the level is not sufficient. Perform
the following to adjust the electrolyte:
Page 1006
24-30-05 April 15/2002

23180 / 23186
(1) Add a measured amount (5ml) of distilled or deionized water (M01) into the syringe
and inject it into the cell. Keep record of how much distilled or deionized water (M01)
is being injected into the cell during this procedure.
NOTE: The amount of distilled or deionized water (M01) required to level the
first cell will serve as an approximate guide to the amount required
for the remaining cells in the battery. However, each cell must be
adjusted individually to ensure the correct level is achieved in each
cell.
(2) Repeat check 4.A to check for correct level.
5. Discharge
A. Initial Discharge and Capacity Test
The initial discharge can also be used to determine the capacity of the battery. The battery
should be discharged at a rate equal to its rated capacity (noted on the battery label).
(1) For Initial Discharge (from aircraft or storage):
(a) Discharge the battery at 1C1A down to 20 V, monitoring the time from the
start of the discharge to the time the battery voltage (at the main terminals)
reaches 20 V.
The time should be greater than 30 minutes. If not, one of the following may
be the cause:
- There was a discharge performed after the last use of the battery onboard
the aircraft
- The aircraft charger may not be functioning properly
- If the battery was left idle for a time, self-discharge occurred
- The battery cells may be imbalanced and need servicing
(2) For Capacity Test
(a) Discharge the battery at 1C1A, monitoring the time from the start of the
discharge to the time any of the cells voltage falls below 1 V. Mark the time
any cell in the battery reads below 1 V.
Each cell in the battery should maintain a voltage higher or equal to 1 V for a
full 60 minutes of discharge at 1C1A (refer to Discharge Table). If one or
more cells should fall below 1 V in less than 60 minutes, refer to Section 7
(FAULT ISOLATION).
NOTE: Repeating the charge and full discharge of a battery that

does not pass capacity test may recover lost capacity.
However, if the capacity continues to decline, refer to Section
7 (FAULT ISOLATION).

Discharge Table
Battery Type 1C1A Discharge Rate Minimum Time
23180 23 Amps 60 Minutes
23186 22 Amps 60 Minutes
B. Residual Discharge
The Residual Discharge will clear the battery of all “residual” energy left in the battery after
the Initial Discharge or the Capacity Test. This procedure is to be performed after the battery
has been discharged to 1 V per cell.
(1) As each cell is discharged to 1 V, connect a resistor approximately 1 W 3 W (T03)

across the cell terminals and continue to discharge each cell in the battery. Keep
these resistors in position for 12 to 16 hours, allowing the battery to cool.
6. Temperature Sensor Testing
These batteries are not equipped with an auxiliary temperature sensor. For temperature monitoring,
consult the Aircraft Maintenance Manual or the aircraft OEM.

- Numerical Index
- Detailed Parts List (DPL)
- Vendor Code Index
B. How to use the Illustrated Parts List
(1) To find the illustration for a part if the part number is known, refer to the Numerical
Index and look for the part number and the corresponding figure and item number.
Refer to the Detailed Parts List and look for the figure and item number found in the
Numerical Index for that part to verify it is the part specified.
(2) To determine the part number of a given part, refer to the Illustrated Parts List figures.
Note the item number of the illustrated part and refer to the Detailed Parts List that
indicates the part number and identification.
C. Equipment Designator Index (EDI)
The Equipment Designator Index provides all circuit symbols given to the electrical and
electronic components of the items listed. If applicable, they are listed in alphanumeric order.
D. Numerical Index (NI)
In this index, part numbers are classified in the following order:
Classification is made from left to right, each character (letter, number, hyphen) being
considered separately.
The first row ordering is:
- Hyphen
- Alpha from A to Z (except for “O” and “I” which will be considered zero and one)
- Numbers from 0-9
The part number column contains all part numbers included in the Detailed Parts List. Part

Storage and Transportation
1. General Storage Information
CAUTION: STORAGE FACILITIES FOR NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES SHOULD BE

ENTIRELY SEPARATE FROM THOSE FOR LEAD ACID BATTERIES. FUMES
FROM LEAD ACID BATTERIES OR TRACES OF SULFURIC ACID ENTERING A
NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
A nickel-cadmium battery storage location should be free of acid, dust, or dampness. No corrosive
liquids or gases should be stored in the same room. Temperatures may range from -60°C (-76°F) to
+60°C (+140°F) without harming the battery. The most desirable range for storage is between 0°C
(32°F) to +30°C (+86°F).
2. Preparation for Storage
A. In-service batteries to be stored for less than 90 days should undergo completion of the
Regular Check or General Overhaul and be left in an airworthy status. See Section 5
(CHECK).
B. In-service batteries to be stored longer than 90 days should be discharged and placed in a
container suitable to the duration of storage.
C. Factory new batteries may be stored as received for a period of up to 24 months. Longer
storage duration requires placement in sealed packaging prior to storage.
3. Active Stand-by Storage
Active stand-by storage is to be used when the battery must be charged and ready for service
onboard an aircraft in a short period of time. The length of time that a battery will retain a minimum
capacity (80%) will vary dependent upon the ambient temperature of the storage environment (refer
to Figure 15001). For storage longer than 90 days, see procedures for Inactive Storage.
NOTE: Saft vented-cell aircraft batteries may be stored charged, ready for service in the
normal, upright or vertical position.
NOTE: Nickel-cadmium batteries automatically self-discharge at about 0.25% per day at

20°C (68°F).

(1) Place fully-serviced, airworthy battery into proper storage for a period not to exceed
90 days.
st
(2) After 90 days (on the 91 day), the battery must receive an electrolyte level
verification. See Section 1 (TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION).
(3) After electrolyte leveling, the battery can be returned to storage for another period not
to exceed 90 days.
(4) It is possible to repeat Steps 2 and 3 a maximum of two times (three 90 day
intervals).
(5) If the battery has not been installed into an aircraft after three 90 day intervals, it must
undergo completion of the Regular Check or General Overhaul as required. See
Section 5 (CHECK).
Page 15002
24-30-05 April 15/2002

23180 / 23186
B. Storage at > 20°C (68°F).
(1) Storage duration is dependent upon ambient temperature. Minimum acceptable

available capacity retention may not be less than 80%.
(2) Refer to Figure 15001 to determine the maximum number of days a battery can be
stored before maintenance is required.
(3) Place a fully-serviced, airworthy battery into proper storage for a period not to exceed
the maximum number of days determined in step 2.
(4) One day past the maximum number of storage days, the battery must receive an
electrolyte level verification. See Section 1 (TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION).
(5) The battery can then be returned to storage for a period not to exceed the maximum
duration for the ambient storage temperature.
(6) It is possible to repeat steps 4 and 5 a maximum of two times (three storage
intervals).
(7) If the battery has not been installed into an aircraft after three storage intervals, it
must undergo completion of the Regular Check or General Overhaul as required.
See Section 5 (CHECK).
4. Trickle Charging
The principle of trickle charging is to keep a battery in active stand-by condition by continuously
charging the battery in an over-charge condition. Saft does not recommend this method, however
some operators take responsibility for its use.
WARNING: USE OF A TRICKLE CHARGER WILL CONSUME WATER OVER TIME. FAILURE
TO VERIFY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL PRIOR TO INSTALLATION MAY RESULT IN
PREMATURE BATTERY FAILURE.
Example: If a 40 Ah battery remains on a continuous trickle charge of 3 mA/Ah for one month, the
3
total consumption of water is 35 cm /cell.
The operator must adjust the electrolyte level before placing the battery onboard the aircraft.
Otherwise, the risk of a battery incident exists; cells dry out before the normal end of the
maintenance interval.
