Factory inspection of lead-acid batteries

Here is a 15-step process to begin every lead-acid battery maintenance process with an important and effective visual battery inspection. Check that battery model and cell/unit manufacturing data code are visible and cell numbering is adequate and correct. 2. Look for dust, corrosion, water or electrolyte

First-article inspections (at the beginning of the production) to verify that the quality matches your requirements. In-process inspection to ensure that the processes and techniques used to manufacture batteries are followed. Pre-shipment inspections to control the quality of batteries and identify defects before shipping.

Our range of quality audits for the battery industry include: Our product inspection for batteries include: First-article inspections (at the beginning of the production) to verify that the quality matches your requirements. In-process inspection to ensure that the processes and techniques used to manufacture batteries are followed.

In the case of a lead-antimony battery, measure and record the specific gravity of 10% of the cells and float charging current. For chemistries other than lead-antimony and where float current is not used to monitor the state of charge, measure and record the specific gravity 10% or more of the battery cells.

Measure the electrolyte temperature of 10% or more of the battery cells. At least once per year, the quarterly inspection will be augmented as follows: In the case of a lead-antimony battery, measure and record specific gravity and electrolyte temperature of all cells.

Even under clean laboratory conditions, impurities are inevitably introduced during the battery production process. Impurities such as Fe, Cr, Zn, and Cu particles in battery raw materials have significant impact on electrochemical performance and material stability, and can even cause internal shorts with severe battery safety issues.
