Title
Recommended Practice for Installation Design and Installation of Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid Storage Batteries for Stationary Applications
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2002
Scope:
Forward
(This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 1187-2002™, IEEE Recommended Practice for Installation Design and Installation of Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid Storage Batteries for Stationary Applications.)
Valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries are playing an ever-increasing role in control and power systems. In many cases, VRLA batteries are being substituted for vented lead-acid batteries. Their use is also expanding into many other applications where their unique characteristics are desirable. Both gelled electrolyte and absorbed electrolyte VRLA designs, covering a range of sizes and capacities, are now available for use in many traditional and nontraditional battery applications. This recommended practice fulfills the need within the industry to provide a common understanding of VRLA batteries and is applicable to float-service stationary installations. Alternative energy applications are not covered.
This recommended practice was prepared by the IEEE 1187 Working Group, Installation and Maintenance Subcommittee of the Standards Coordinating Committee 29 on Stationary Batteries. At the time this recommended practice was completed, the IEEE 1187 Working Group had the following membership:
Eddie Davis, Chair

Scope
This recommended practice provides recommended design practices and procedures for storage, location, mounting, ventilation, instrumentation, preassembly, assembly, and charging of valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) storage batteries. Required safety practices are also included. This recommended practice is applicable to float-service stationary installations.
This recommended practice also contains six informative annexes. These provide additional tutorial information relating to topics introduced in the body of the document.
Battery sizing, maintenance, capacity testing, charging equipment, battery protection, and consideration of other types of batteries are beyond the scope of this recommended practice. Alternative energy applications are also beyond the scope of this recommended practice.
The portions of this recommended practice that specifically relate to personnel safety are mandatory instructions and are designated by the word shall; all other portions are recommended practices and are designated by the word should
