CLEANING

1. Light cleaning
Remove the cover.
If a clean filtered supply of compressed air is available, do this procedure to easily and quickly
clean the cells : blow with much force across the tops of the cells to remove all dust and the
light traces of mineral salts from the box. To prevent short-circuits, use a rubber tube or an
insulating nozzle.

2. Full cleaning
Disassemble the battery (Refer to "DISASSEMBLY" 1.E.) and then clean all the components.

A. Cells
To easily remove all the electrolyte and mineral salts from the terminals, the covers and
the sides of the cell cases : clean in warm water with a soft brush.
Make sure that the vented filler cap (380) (safety cap) is tight.
Do not soak the cells in water.
Rub the cell with a cloth and let dry.

B. Box
Clean with water, rub with a cloth and let dry.

C. Nuts, spring washers and links


Clean in warm water with a brush and let dry.

D. Packing parts and sealed insulating liner

Nov 15/98
SAFT
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
447CH7
E. vented filler caps

(1) Remove the vented filler caps (380) (Refer to "DISASSEMBLY").

(2) Put covers on the cell holes to keep out unwanted material.

(3) Soak the vented filler caps for some time (during the night, for example) in a
container of distilled water (or, if not available, in very clean tap water). Do this to
remove all salts from the vent hole.
NOTE : THE CLEANING OF THE VENTED FILLER CAPS (380) MUST BE DONE
WHEN THE CELLS ARE ASSEMBLED IN THE BOX

WARNING : DO NOT USE PETROL, TRICHLOROETHYLENE OR OTHER


SOLVENTS.

(4) Before you put the vented filler caps back into the cells, make sure that they operate
correctly. Do these steps :

(a) Install the vented filler cap (380) with its O-ring (390) on the end of a metal tube
that has a correct end-piece.

(b) Connect this tube to a supply of compressed air through a vented filler cap of
the adjustable reducing type.

(c) Adjust the pressure to 0.5 bar (7.25 psi) and put the vented filler cap into a
container of water. Air bubbles come out if the vented filler cap is in good
condition. If there are no bubbles, increase the pressure until you see bubbles.
Then decrease the pressure slowly to 0.1 bar (1.45 psi) and monitor the
pressure at which the air flow stops.

(d) Reject all vented filler caps that have an operating pressure of more than 0.7 bar
(10 psi) (after the check done before to make sure that the related cap operates
correctly) or less than 0.14 bar (2 psi).

(e) Install the vented filler caps (380) (Refer to "ASSEMBLY").

3. Lubrication
When the battery is clean (and after installation of the vented filler caps), put a thin layer of
neutral petrolatum (petrolatum that is not acid) or light oil on the terminals and the links. Use a
paintbrush.

CHECK

1. Maintenance checks
You must do the checks which are necessary to use the SAFT 447CH7 batteries in flight and
on the ground. But you must also do these maintenance steps during operation :

 Periodical check (in a workshop) : adjustment of electrolyte levels


 Regular check (in a workshop) : electrical treatment, adjustment of electrolyte levels, and
capacity test.
 General overhaul (in a workshop): disassembly, full cleaning, assembly and regular check.

2. Maintenance steps in workshop

A. Periodical check
Periodically (at flight hour intervals such that the allowable water consumption is not
exceeded) :
 Follow the differents steps indicated Fig 501
 Clean the battery (See "CLEANING")
 Mesure the voltage Ubat (in open circuit) at the terminal of the battery, if Ubat < 21 V
make a polarization test (refer to "REPAIR" 1 and 2)
 Adjust the electrolyte level.

(1) Charge of the battery and adjustment of the electrolyte level :


(a) Remove the cover.

(b) Discharge the remaining capacity at 44 A down to a voltage of 20 V at the


battery terminals.

(c) When the battery temperature is +20 °C to +25 °C (+68 °F to +77 °F) (usual
temperature range), charge the battery (Refer to one of the procedures given in
"DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION"2.A.(2) for a fully discharged battery).

24-34-10
page 501
Nov 15/98
SAFT
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
447CH7

(d) During the last hour of the charge (while the charge current continues to flow),
adjust the level of the electrolyte in the cells. Then measure the voltages of each
cell. Write the quantity of water that is added to each cell. The electrolyte level
changes with the battery charge. Thus you do not get the maximum level until
the battery is fully charged. The level changes as if the plates absorbed a part of
the electrolyte during the discharge and released it during the charge. Thus the
level checks are only satisfactory if they are done almost at the end of the
charge (but during the charge).
Leakage can occur during operation if you do not obey these instructions when
you add liquid. The level is correct when the distance between the seat of the
vented filler cap and the electrolyte is 20 mm (0.79 in) (distance measured in the
conditions given before) (Fig. 502).

(e) If necessary, add distilled or demineralised water to adjust the level to this value.

WARNING : DO NOT USE ACID OR ACIDULATED WATER to adjust the
electrolyte levels in nickel-cadmium cells. A very small quantity of
acid is sufficient to cause permanent damage.

The easiest tool to adjust the level is a plastic syringe tube (equivalent to that
used for medical injections, with a plastic nozzle on the conical end).
The length of the nozzle which goes into the cell must be 20 mm (0.79 in) ; this is
the distance necessary between the seat of the vented filler cap and the
electrolyte (Refer to figure 502).
To adjust the level, keep the shoulder of the syringe nozzle against the seat of
the vented filler cap and pull the plunger up :

SAFT
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
447CH7
If the level is not sufficient, the syringe tube stays empty when you pull the
plunger.
If there is too much liquid, this liquid is removed by the syringe until the level
aligns with the end of the nozzle.
If this check shows that the level is not sufficient in some cells, add distilled water
to these cells. (The syringe is small ; it can thus be necessary to do this step
more than one time for each cell).
The level is correct when only a small quantity of liquid goes into the syringe
when you pull the plunger. To do this check (after water is added to the cell),
keep the shoulder of the syringe nozzle against the seat of the vented filler cap.

(2) Results of the above procedure :


The battery operates correctly if :
(a) The voltage of each cell measured during the last hour of charge at 4.4 A is not
less than 1.55 V (1.52 V at +35 °C (95 °F)).

(b) Approximately the same quantity of distilled water was added to each cell. This
quantity must be less than 15 cm3 (0.92 in3).

If the quantity of water added to all cells is more than 25 cm3 (0.92 in3) : make sure
that the voltage adjustment in relation to the temperature during the charge is correct.
Also do the electrolyte level check more frequently.
Do a full overhaul of the battery (Refer to paragraph 3 "General overhaul") :
 If the quantity of water necessary for one or more cell(s) is much higher or smaller
than for the other cells.
 If the voltage of each cell measured at the end of a 4.4 A charge is less than
1.55 V (1.52 V at +35 °C (95 °F)) (Refer to "TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION").

(3) Clean the vented filler caps (380) (Refer to "CLEANING" 2.E.) when you adjust the
electrolyte levels.

(4) Make sure that all the nuts that attach the links are torqued them (see FITS AND
CLEARANCES paragraph 1).

(5) Do an insulation check.The insulation resistance mesured between the block of cells
and the metal box must be at least 2 M under 250 V DC if the battery has not gone
throught a general overhaul, else refer to "CHECK" 3.F.

B. Regular check
AFTER A MAXIMUM OF ONE YEAR, do this battery test (follow the different steps
indicated fig 503) :

(1) Remove the cover.

(2) Clean the battery.

(3) Mesure the voltage in open circuit at the terminal of the battery. If Ubat < 21 V, then
make the polarization test (refer to "REPAIR" 1. and 2.).

(4) Discharge the remaining capacity at 44 A down to a voltage of 20 V at the battery


terminals.
Measure the time from the start of discharge to the time when the voltage is 20 V.

(5) Do an insulation test.

(6) Connect a resistor of approximately 1 3W (refer to fig. 903) across each cell and
continue to discharge. Resistors with crocodile clips attached to their leads can be
easily attached to the cell terminals.Let the resistors stay in position for the night.

(7) Remove all resistors, charge the battery (Refer to "DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION" for a fully discharged battery).

(8) Adjust the electrolyte level in the cells (Refer to paragraph 2.A (1)). Then measure the
voltage of each cell during the last hour of the charge. Also write the quantity of
distilled water added to each cell.

(9) Immediately after the charge and the level adjustment, discharge the battery again at
44 A down to 20 V ; measure the terminal voltage of each cell. Write the time that is
necessary for this second discharge.

(10) Clean the vented filler caps (380) (Refer to "CLEANING" 2.E.) when you adjust the
electrolyte levels.

(11) Make sure that all the nuts that attach the links are torqued (see FITS AND
CLEARANCES paragraph 1)

(12) Recharge the batterie (refer to "DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION" 2.A.).

Results of the above tests :
The battery operates correctly if :
 The time necessary for the first discharge (paragraph 2.B (4) is more than 30 minutes,
 The time necessary for the second discharge (paragraph 2.B (9)) is not less than
1 hour,
 The voltage of each cell measured during the last hour of the charge at 4.4 A is not
less than 1.55 V (1.52 V at +35 °C (95 °F)),
 The quantity of water added to each cell is approximately equal to or less than 25 cm3
3
(0.92 in ).
 If the first discharge time is less than 30 minutes but the second discharge time is
correct : the battery is in good condition but was not fully charged when removed from
the aircraft.
This condition can be caused by :
 An incorrect charge in the aircraft.
 And/or a discharge caused by an unusual operation of the battery after landing.
Do a full overhaul of the battery (paragraph 3) if :
 The second discharge time is less the correct one or one cell has a voltage of less than
1 V(or incorrect polarity before 1 hour of discharge).
 The voltage of each cell measured during the last hour of charge at 4.4 A is less than
1.55 V (1.52 V at +35 °C (95 °F)).
 The quantity of water necessary for one or more cell(s) is much higher or smaller than
for the other cells.
NOTE : The consumption of water by a SAFT nickel-cadmium cell is in proportion to
the unwanted charge.
Thus, the consumption must be the same for all the 20 cells in the battery.
The quantity of water necessary for one or more cell(s) (in the same battery) can be much
higher (or smaller) than the other cells. Then there is a defect :
 High consumption is usually caused by a leakage.
 Low consumption is caused by a damaged separator.
 The consumption is incorrect when it is 30 % more or less than the average.

REPAIR

1. Battery condition
Do a polarisation test (Refer to paragraph 2) if you find these defects on the battery (after a
removal that was not scheduled or before regular maintenance) :
 The polarity of the cells is incorrect
 The battery open voltage is less than 21 V.

Do a supplementary test (Refer to paragraph 3) if you find these defects on the battery
(during regular maintenance or general overhaul) :
 The voltages at the end of the charge are too low
 The voltage during the charge is too high
 The capacity is not sufficient
 The water consumption is incorrect.

2. Polarisation test
Charge the battery at 4.4 A for 1.5 hour.
Keep the battery in the "open circuit" condition for 1 hour.
Measure the open voltage of every cell.

If the cell open voltage is 0 V (or opposite), do a supplementary test (refer to paragraph 3).
Then repair.

If each cell has an open voltage that is more than 0 volt, charge the battery (Refer to one of the
procedures given in "DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION", paragraph 2.A (2), for a fully
discharged battery).

24-34-10
page 601
Nov 15/98
SAFT
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
447CH7
3. Supplementary test before repair
The first test charge can be unsatisfactory if the electrolyte level is too low in some cells (the
level is not adjusted until the end of this charge). If you find defects, do a second test :
 Charge the battery (Refer to one of the procedures given in "DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION", paragraph 2.A (2), for a fully discharged battery). At the end of the total
charge time, continue to charge at 4.4 A for 5 more hours. Regularly write the voltage and
temperature of the cells.
 The temperature of the cells that have damaged separators increases very much and
continuously. The voltage of these cells continuously decreases to less than
1.55 V (1.52 Vat +35 °C (95 °F)).
NOTE : When you charge the battery more than necessary, you decrease the life of
the cells.

Thus, do this special test only if :


 A battery malfunction occurred in the aircraft
 Defects were found during shop maintenance.

 Adjust the electrolyte level during the last one of the 5 last hours of charge.
 Discharge at 44 A down to 20 V.

After this test, discard the defective cells :

 Cells with a voltage of less than 1.55 V (1.52 V at +35 °C (95 °F)) at the end of the
charge.
 Cells with a voltage that decreases to less than 1 V before one hour of discharge
(during the last test discharge).
 Short-circuited cells (zero volt).

This vendor code (or the abbreviation "NP" : non procurable) is shown to the right of the
1st line of the nomenclature.

D. Applicability (Usage Code)


An alphanumeric usage code shows the applicability of the sub-assemblies and detail
parts to the immediately higher assembly(ies) or sub-assembly(ies).

When the applicability is general, the "Usage Code" column is blank.

The usage code is applicable to the figure/item number of the immediately higher
assembly(ies) or sub-assembly(ies) (for example, the applicability 1A, 1B, 1C is written
1ABC).

E. Quantity for each immediately higher assembly (Units per Assy)


The "Units per Assy" column shows the number of units that are necessary for the
immediately higher assembly.
This number can be replaced by the letters REF (Reference) or AR (As Required).
