OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
1. General
This manual provides the information necessary for an experienced shop technician to maintain Saft nickel-
cadmium batteries. It describes construction of the battery, as well as techniques used to operate, maintain,
repair, overhaul, and generally care for the battery. Following these instructions will enhance the ability to
obtain optimum performance and maximum life from Saft batteries. Saft offers training classes that will assist
in the optimization of battery life and the lowest possible maintenance costs. Contact your preferred Saft
representative for further details.
All aircraft batteries require checking and maintenance in order to make sure they are safe when installed
and they perform their required functions especially in emergency conditions on board the aircraft. Mainte-
nance checks also permit any problems to be identified and corrected. The maintenance interval is the pe-
riod for which correct operation is assured with a low probability of failure and allows high levels of MTBUR
and MTBF to be achieved. Apart from the question of safety, the avoidance of failure on board the aircraft,
with consequent costly impact on delays, reduces operational costs.
NOTE:Some Saft batteries have a specific Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) assigned to them.
If a CMM exists, that information will supersede the contents of this manual for that particular
battery type and this document will become supplemental. Contact a Saft representative, or
check the Saft website at www.saftbatteries.com/cmm/, for a complete listing of available
Component Maintenance Manuals.
Every effort has been made to provide complete and accurate instructions. If a situation should arise that is
not adequately described in this manual, please contact Saft via the internet at www.saftbatteries.com or at

manual. For information on Saft batteries not listed here, contact your local Saft representative.
2. Website
All Saft technical documentation, distributors and repair shops can be found on www.saftbatteries.com.
3. Definitions
Warnings call attention to use of materials, procedures, or limits, which must be followed precisely to avoid
injury to persons.
Cautions call attention to procedures which must be followed to avoid damage to equipment.
Notes call attention to procedures which make the job easier.
4. Safety
I: Except for those steps that require the battery to be charged, do all steps on discharged batteries
(refer to Residual discharge paragraph) to avoid the possibility of electric shock. Tighten vent-
valves (160) prior to beginning discharge. Battery cells deliver very high current when short-cir-
cuited. Exercise caution. Remove rings, watches, necklaces, metallic belts or other jewelry to
avoid electric shock.
I: Do not tilt the battery while doing maintenance, any contact of skin with electrolyte can cause
severe burns.
Safety rules are different from one country to another. Always follow local safety regulations.
There are three types of risks.
4-1. Physical
- Handling: the battery is heavy. When you lift it, bend your legs and not your back.
- Use protective shoes.
4-2. Electrical
- Do not wear rings, watches, chains, belt buckles, necklaces or any other metallic objects.

4-3. Chemical
For a complete listing of hazards, refer to the MSDS available on Saft's website at www.saftbatteries.com
- Electrolyte is very corrosive and can damage the skin: use gloves and an apron. If it touches the
skin, flush affected part with water and neutralize with an acetic solution, vinegar or lemon juice, or
with a boric acid solution at 10% concentration.
- Electrolyte is very dangerous for eyes, use protective goggles.If the electrolyte comes in contact with
the eyes, flush them with water for at least 15 minutes and immediately call a doctor.
- Electrolyte ingestion can cause damage to the throat and the respiratory tract. Do not try to vomit.
Call a doctor immediately.
- Skin contact with nickel can cause chronic eczema.
- Inhalation of cadmium oxide can cause dry throat, headaches, vomiting, chest pain. If inhaled, re-
move to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical attention immediately.
- Potassium hydroxide in the electrolyte can cause eczema.
5. Aircraft Conversions
Saft aircraft batteries come in a wide variety of configurations that are approved for installation on selected
aircraft. When replacing a lead-acid battery with a Saft nickel-cadmium aircraft battery, it is vitally important
to clean all mounting and holding fixtures in the aircraft prior to installation. All traces of acid and salt should
be removed by washing with a neutralizing agent such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in water. Once
the area has been fully cleaned and prepared, the surface should be painted with an alkaline resistant paint.
This preparation should ensure that your new Saft battery will not be harmed by sulfuric acid residue.
6. Ground Applications
Your Saft battery can be used in such ground applications as starting gas turbine generators, ground mobile
equipment, or in shop testing equipment. The same principles used in flight operations apply when the bat-
tery is used in ground applications. Ventilation of the battery during ground use can be accomplished through
a ventilation system or by simply removing the cover (only in a well-ventilated area). Check with your local
authorities for regulations in effect for your area.

INTRODUCTION
8. Battery Ratings
8-1. Capacity
Nickel-cadmium batteries are rated in terms of capacity in ampere-hours (Ah) (rated capacity).
American Standard AS8033 defines capacity as "the dischargeable ampere-hours (Ah) available from a fully
charged cell/battery at any specified discharge rate/temperature condition".
Other definitions for battery ratings can be found in EN2570, IEC 60952 and RTCA DO 293.
A battery rated for 1C1 Ah indicates that the battery is rated at a value based upon a discharge time of 1 hour
at 23°C 3°C (73.4°F 5.4°F). In other words, a battery with a rated capacity of 40 Ah (1C1 Ah) will deliver
no less than 40 A for one hour when new.
A typical discharge curve for Saft VHP series cells can be found in Figure 1.

9. Recycling
All batteries eventually lose their ability to perform and are eligible for scrap and recycling. Saft takes envi-
ronmental matters seriously and advocates proper recycling of nickel-cadmium batteries and their compo-
nents. To that end, Saft operates recycling facilities in both Europe and North America.
Nickel-cadmium batteries contain nickel, cadmium, and potassium hydroxide and should be disposed of
properly. In all cases, rely on local and national regulations for proper battery disposal and/or shipping to an
appropriate recycling location.
You can find the nearest recycling collection point on our website www.saftbatteries.com.

1. Description
1-1. General
The batteries are connected to the aircraft system:
- According to the aircraft manufacturer, to start the engine or the APU.
- On the ground, to provide power before electrical power is supplied to the aircraft systems.
- In flight, if a malfunction or a failure occurs in the power supply system.

1-2. Batteries
NOTE:The item numbers are those of the detailed parts list chapter.
Each Saft nickel-cadmium battery consists of a metallic box (020), usually stainless steel, plastic-coated
steel, painted steel or titanium, containing a number of individual cells. These cells are connected in series
to obtain a specified voltage, usually 12 or 24 volts nominal. Individual cells are enclosed in a polyamide
container that provides insulation, allowing them to be fitted side-by-side in the battery box. Interconnection
of cells is via rigid, highly conductive, nickel-plated copper links(030). Each link is held in place by nickel-
plated copper nuts (110) on the cells’ terminals (or nickel-plated steel screws for internally threaded termi-
nals). Inside the battery box, individual cells are held in place by partitions, liners and spacers (200), and a
cover assembly (010). Each battery is designed with appropriate ventilation to allow the escape of gases
produced during an overcharge condition and to provide cooling during normal operation.
1-3. Cells
The cell is the active component of the battery. It is here that the electrochemical reaction takes place con-
verting chemical energy into electricity. In Saft aviation batteries, the design features are on the cutting edge
of today’s technology.

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The active elements of the nickel-cadmium cell are either two groups of thin, porous, sintered nickel plates
(VO, VP, VXP & Delta Plus (VHP) Series) or one group of positive sintered nickel plates and one group of
negative Plastic Bonded Electrode (PBE) plates [ULM® Series (CVH, CVK, CVD)]. In all cells, the positive
plates are sintered nickel, impregnated with nickel-hydroxide. The negative plates are either sintered nickel
impregnated with cadmium-hydroxide, or cadmium-oxide applied in a non-sintered coating process (PBE),
which is later converted to cadmium-hydroxide during manufacturing. In the cell, the positive and negative
plates are immersed in electrolyte, a solution of potassium hydroxide and water.
Within the cell container, a three-part separator separates the plates of opposite polarity. The outer layers
are a felt-like fabric. This fabric allows the electrolyte to stay in contact with the plates by “wicking”. The
inner layer is either an organic or a micro-porous synthetic material that acts as a gas barrier to control oxy-
gen recombination during recharge.
Each set of positive and negative plates is connected to a plate tab that employs a continuous welding joint
for maximum energy transfer. These terminals are connected to the respective terminal posts. The terminal
post is what allows external connections to be made. An O-ring seals the terminals.
Each cell is equipped with a vent-valve that can be removed to allow access to the electrolyte (for the addition
of distilled or deionized water). This valve also serves as a pressure-checking device, designed to limit the
pressure inside the cell to 0.7 bar (10 psi) maximum.
Many cells have a raised edge surrounding the vent-valve to contain any minor release of electrolyte that
may occur during overcharge.
Saft cells are composed of a cover and body made of polyamide plastic. These are thermally welded togeth-
er to form a single, leak proof container. This ensures that if the battery is maintained and used under normal
circumstances, it will never leak.

to +71°C (+160°F)], optimum performance is obtained between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C(+113°F). Charging
is inefficent at temperatures below -30°C (–22°F) and is not recommended above 57°C (135°F). Charging
must be stopped at temperatures above +71°C (+160°F).
2-2. Maintenance
All maintenance, including charging, discharging, should be done specifically in accordance with the instruc-
tions contained in this manual or a corresponding Component Maintenance Manual (CMM). If a CMM exists
for a battery, that information will supersede the contents of this manual and this OMM will become supple-
mental.
2-3. Ventilation
Battery ventilation and cooling is accomplished through two methods. Most Saft batteries are equipped with
tubes designed for the connection of a battery venting system. In others, holes in the battery box allow for
heat dissipation and ventilation of any hydrogen produced.

1. Introduction
1-1. General
This chapter includes the checks, the maintenance procedures and the functional tests that must be done to
use Saft batteries in flight and on the ground. These maintenance steps must be completed in a battery shop:
- Periodical check: adjustment of electrolyte levels.
- Regular check: capacity test and periodical check
- General overhaul: disassembly, full cleaning, assembly and regular check.
NOTE: All ( ) part identification numbers herein are IPL Fig. 1 item numbers.

4. Maintenance intervals
The aircraft manufacturer is responsible for defining the usage and function, including maintenance intervals,
for aircraft batteries installed in its aircraft. Saft only provides recommendations that require the agreement
of the aircraft manufacturer.
NOTE:Maintenance steps must be completed in a battery shop.
Saft distinguishes between three types of maintenance
5. Recording
It is very important to record the battery check values (capacity, end of charge voltage, water consumption)
as required in the battery logbook for each maintenance. It is recommended that an operator tracks these
maintenance data in order to verify the interval is correct relative to that particular operation. This may also
allow the interval to be extended if the data justifies it.

- 3. Insert the syringe (T02) into the cell opening until the shoulder of the nozzle rests on the vent-
valve seat .
- 4. Withdraw the plunger and check for any liquid in the syringe.
Any excess liquid in the cell will be drawn into the syringe until the electrolyte is level with the end of
the nozzle. This is the correct level for the electrolyte.
If the liquid level is too low, the syringe will remain empty, indicating that the end of the syringe noz-
zle did not reach the liquid in the cell. In this case, replenish low electrolyte:.
- 5. Draw 5 cm3 of the distilled water (M01) into the syringe and inject it into the cell.
- 6. With the syringe nozzle remaining on the vent-valve (100) seat, slowly withdraw the plunger in the
syringe.
- 7. If the syringe remains empty, repeat steps 5 and 6, counting the number of 5 cm3 injections re-
quired to achieve the correct level. Record the amount of water added to each cell on the mainte-
nance record.
- 8. At the point in step 6 when some excess liquid is drawn into the syringe, the correct level for that
cell has been reached. Expel the excess liquid into a separate container for disposal. Do not re-use
the liquid removed from cells. Check with local authorities for proper disposal of hazardous waste.

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Introduction
1-1. General
Storage preparation and packaging makes sure that the equipment is protected against any attack by atmo-
spheric agents.
The figure and item numbers are those of the ILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST chapter.
2. Storage procedure
2-1. Preparation of the battery before storage
Service the battery as scheduled (periodical check, regular check or general overhaul check).
Lightly lubricate the nuts, the links, and all the components that can be damaged by atmospheric corrosion
with M02.
Put the battery in its usual vertical position.
2-2. Packaging
The batteries and cells are usually put in cardboard boxes. For long storage or sea transportation, we rec-
ommend to put them in a heavy gauge plastic bag that is subsequently heat sealed. In this type of container,
with the recommended temperature range, the batteries can be kept for 10 years.

3. Transportation procedure
The battery is normally discharged before packing. If it is necessary to transport a charged battery, make
sure that the output terminals are protected against short circuit.
The battery should then be packed vertically in its original container. If the original container is not available,
the international and/or local packaging regulations applicable to the mode of transport and destination must
be followed.
According to the IATA / IMDG dangerous goods regulations, Saft ships all existing nickel-cadmium batteries
or cells for aircraft under the classification UN2795 (wet, filled with alkali) according to packing instruction
800.
