Organization: IEEE
Publication Date: 7 November 2019
Status: active
Page Count: 25
scope:

This recommended practice provides design considerations and procedures for storage, location, mounting, ventilation, assembly, and maintenance of lead-acid storage batteries for photovoltaic power systems. Safety precautions and instrumentation considerations are also included.

While this document gives general recommended practices, battery manufacturers may provide specific instructions for battery installation and maintenance.

Purpose

This recommended practice is meant to assist lead-acid battery users to properly store, install, and maintain lead-acid batteries used in residential, commercial, and industrial photovoltaic systems.
