IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Nickel-Cadmium Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations

Superseded by IEEE Std 1106-1995. Maintenance procedures, capacity test schedules, and capacity testing procedures that can be used to optimize the life and performance of nickel-cadmium batteries designed for continuous-float applications are provided. Guidance for determining when these batteries should be replaced is also given. Sizing, installation, qualification, other battery types, and application are not considered.
