Description / Abstract:
This recommended practice discusses factors relating to
electrolyte spill containment and management for vented lead-acid
(VLA), valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA), vented nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd), and valve regulated Ni-Cd stationary batteries.
Suggestions are made for drafting model codes.
Purpose
This recommended practice is intended to assist code-writing
organizations. It seeks to develop a full understanding of and
describe some electrolyte spill containment and management issues
related to stationary battery systems, and the ways in which
battery chemistry and construction can influence requirements for
spill containment and neutralization.
