Draft Recommended Practice for Personnel Qualifications for Installation and Maintenance of Stationary Batteries

This document defines the areas of recommended knowledge for installers and maintainers of stationary batteries and related systems to the extent that they affect the battery. Design of the dc system and sizing of the dc battery charger(s) are beyond the scope of this document. This document covers only lead-acid and cadmium battery technologies. Its purpose is to provide an outline (not necessarily in training order) of the items that should be covered by those developing training programs for stationary battery installation and maintenance personnel. The IEEE will not be certifying trained personnel nor providing its own battery technician training programs.
