The battery must be type-tested and certified in accordance with NF C 58-510 “Lead acid secondary batteries for storing photovoltaically generated electrical energy”, and/or IEC 60896-1 or -2 “Stationary lead-acid batteries - General requirements and methods of test.
This document provides recommended maintenance, test schedules, testing procedures, and analysis that can be used to optimize the life and performance of permanently installed, vented lead-acid batteries in stationary applications. It also provides guidance to determine when batteries should be replaced.
Label for regulated lead-acid batteries: “Pb” or the words “lead,” “return,” and “recycle.” Label for rechargeable consumer products containing nonremovable regulated lead-acid batteries: “Contains sealed lead battery.
The ventilation system must prevent the accumulation of hydrogen pockets greater than 1% concentration. Flooded lead-acid batteries must be provided with a dedicated ventilation system that exhausts outdoors and prevents circulation of air in other parts of the building.
