18、 specific set of operating conditions, including discharge rate, temperature, initial state of charge, age and final voltage. 1.3.2 Authorized person The person in charge of the premises, or other person appointed or selected by the person in charge of the premises, to perform certain duties associa
19、ted with the traction batteries on the premises. 5 AS 2402.2.22005 .au Standards Australia 1.3.3 Capacity The quantity of electricity, usually expressed in ampere hours (A.h), that a fully charged battery can deliver under specified conditions. 1.3.4 Charging An operation during which a battery rece
20、ives electric energy, which is converted to chemical energy, from an external circuit. The quantity of electric energy is known as the charge and is usually measured in ampere hours (A.h). 1.3.5 Cover A removable covering of suitable material enclosing the top of the battery. 1.3.6 Discharging An op
21、eration during which a battery delivers current to an external circuit by conversion of chemical energy to electric energy. 1.3.7 Electrolyte A solution which will react with the electrodes and carry an electric current between them when the cell terminals are connected to form a closed circuit. 1.3
22、.8 Fully charged battery A battery is considered to be fully charged if the electrolyte density and the voltage measured across the battery terminals do not vary over three consecutive hourly readings taken at the end of the charging period, account being taken of temperature variations and the char
23、ging current is that specified by the battery manufacturer or supplier. 1.3.9 Industrial truck A powered industrial truck as defined in AS 2359.1. 1.3.10 Lead-acid cell A cell in which the active materials are as follows: (a) Positive electrodes or plates: lead dioxide. (b) Negative electrodes or pl
24、ates: spongy lead. (c) Electrolyte: dilute sulphuric acid. 1.3.11 Life The number of charge-discharge cycles before the capacity of a battery falls to 80% of the rated capacity. 1.3.12 Operator The authorized person under whose physical control an industrial truck is being operated, i.e. the driver.
25、 1.3.13 Opportunity charging The use of periods of inactivity of a partially discharged battery (i.e. state of charge less than 80% of the nominal capacity) to increase its state of charge. 1.3.14 Rated capacity The quantity of electricity in ampere hours (A.h), declared by the battery manufacturer
26、or supplier which a battery can deliver after a full charge under specified conditions. NOTE: The specified conditions are the rate of discharge, final voltage and temperature. AS 2402.2.22005 6 Standards Australia .au The capacity of a cell or battery is denoted by the symbol C. Because the capacit
27、y varies with rate of discharge, the symbol C is followed by a numerical subscript giving the rate of discharge. Thus C5 is the capacity in ampere hours (A.h) at the 5 h rate of discharge. The specified temperature is usually 30C. The final voltage depends on battery type and conditions of service.
28、1.3.15 Service weight The service weight of a battery, which includes cells, trays, relevant covers and ballast weights used to compensate for lack of battery mass. 1.3.16 Shall Indicates that a statement is mandatory. 1.3.17 Should Indicates a recommendation. 1.3.18 Traction battery More than one t
29、raction cell permanently and electrically connected in one circuit, intended for use as the power supply of an electric vehicle or an industrial truck. 1.3.19 Traction cell A cell specifically designed to form part of a traction battery. 1.3.20 Tray (basket) An outer container enclosing a battery or
30、 battery unit and treated to resist corrosion by sulphuric acid. 1.3.21 User The company, organization or person that has possession of an industrial truck and is responsible for its operation. 1.3.22 Valve-regulated cell A cell which is closed under normal conditions but which has an arrangement wh
31、ich allows the escape of gas if the internal pressure exceeds a predetermined value. The cell cannot normally receive any addition to the electrolyte. 1.3.23 Vehicle A mobile, battery-powered machine intended for use on public roads. 1.3.24 Vent plug A removable plug fitted to the cell cover over th
32、e hole used for filling with electrolyte or topping-up with water, and designed to provide for the escape of gases from the cell while obstructing the passage of acid spray. 1.3.25 Vented cell A battery that has its plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. The volume of electrolyte is sufficient to al
33、low for a reasonable loss of water by evaporation or electrolysis during charging. The batterys cells have a vent in their cover that allows a free exchange of the gases inside the cell with the atmosphere. Water is normally added to vented batteries. 7 AS 2402.2.22005 .au Standards Australia S E C

The battery discharge indicator shall be adjusted to the battery manufacturers or suppliers requirements. 2.2 BATTERY CONNECTORS AND CABLES A vented battery designed for use in industrial trucks shall be equipped with a battery connector and cables complying with the following: (a) If a site has
36、trucks with both valve-regulated and vented batteries, the valve-regulated batteries shall be fitted with battery connectors that cannot be connected to the vented battery chargers. (b) The length of the cable attached to the connector shall be as short as practicable, without interfering with the d
37、isconnecting operation and without placing stress on terminals. (c) Live parts shall be recessed from the face of the connector to reduce the possibility of shorting. (d) The removable portion of the connector shall be provided with means for being grasped during removal. (e) A battery connector sha
38、ll have the proper rating for use in its application (e.g. d.c. voltage rating, current rating, and temperature rating). NOTE: To obtain lower voltages to run accessories it is recommended to use a suitable d.c/d.c. converter to step the voltage down. Batteries should not be tapped to obtain a lower
39、 voltage. 2.3 IDENTIFICATION PLATES Part 1 of this Standard requires that lead-acid traction batteries designed for use in industrial trucks are legibly and durably marked with the following information: (a) The name of the battery manufacturer or supplier.

Users and operators should not remove identification plates. 2.4 BATTERY CHARGING AND CHANGING FOR THE USER NOTE: Regulatory authorities may ha
46、ve requirements for the application of risk management strategies. Users of industrial trucks shall ensure that the charging and changing of batteries is carried out in suitable areas.
