Abstract

Issues of safety and service life in the use of standby batteries in telecommunication power installations are considered from the perspectives of hydrogen gas emission and thermal runaway. The relationship between the safety and the life issues related to the control of float current and temperature is discussed. Recommendations for such control are proposed. Float voltage compensation reduces the prevailing float current level, and partially compensates for the adverse effects of temperature increases
