Battery storage compartment and battery compartment

Do high-capacity batteries need a compartment?

High-capacity batteries require a compartment that satisfies the condition needed for the best operation and battery lifetime utilization. Batteries compartment design recommendations are not directly available to engineers. Few recommendations are scattered in fires, building codes, and IEEE recommended practices.

Where should a battery compartment be located?

It is fairly obvious that the best location for a battery compartment is on the opposite side of the equipment relative to the front panel or operator station, especially for small equipment that is held close to the operator's face or that has an eyepiece that must be looked into.

Do battery compartment design recommendations niinimize equipment damage and injury?

Battery compartment design recommendations to niinimize equipment damage and injury as a result of violent ventings that may occur when the batteries are installed in equipment are addressed in detail.

What is a battery compartment closure?

During normal operation of the equipment, the battery compartment closure must hold the compartment securely in place and may be required to meet water immersion requirements. During a violent venting, the closures must not fail and allow the battery compartment and battery to fly away from the equipment.

How many lisü2 batteries can be used in a compartment?

For compartments containing multiple LiSÜ2 batteries, only one dummy battery will be used for distribution of gases. The remaining batteries will be actual solid (empty) battery cases or solid structures which will not allow any gas to enter into them during testing.

Can a battery compartment be connected to a test apparatus?

Good engineering judgment must also be exercised in designing the interface required to connect the battery compartment with the test apparatus so that the test results will not be affected. No part of the test apparatus will be permitted to attach to the test batteries.
