Service Details
Battery periodic inspection; It is the process of visual inspection and electrical testing of battery groups (accumulators) used in the uninterruptible energy, emergency and security systems of a facility at regular intervals. Businesses in Bursa often call this service as battery periodic inspection, battery periodic maintenance, UPS battery test, battery test and measurement, battery load test, battery capacity test or battery test report. The common goal of all of them is; It is to verify whether the battery systems that will be activated in the event of a power outage or emergency really have sufficient capacity and operate safely.
Battery periodic inspection; It should not be confused with vehicle battery replacement or a simple service check. The target here is; Industrial battery groups behind critical systems such as UPS, rectifier, fire detection and emergency lighting; to carry out inspections according to legislation, standards and manufacturer catalogues, and to document the results with an official periodic inspection report. Battery periodic maintenance; It includes applications such as terminal cleaning, connection tightening, battery room cleaning, electrolyte level control in flooded batteries and does not replace the battery periodic inspection report alone.
Legal basis for accumulator (battery) periodic inspection and inspection; Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331 and the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment issued pursuant to this law. Battery installations are clearly counted among the installations subject to periodic inspection of work equipment, and unless otherwise specified in the relevant standards, the battery periodic inspection period is considered to be a maximum of 1 year. For this reason, periodic battery inspection must be carried out at least once a year, especially for UPS batteries, rectifier powered DC panels, fire detection and alarm system batteries, emergency lighting and guidance fixtures batteries.
Our Bursa battery periodic inspection service; especially UPS (uninterruptible power supplies) and rectifier systems; It includes standby batteries of fire detection and alarm panels, gas detection and extinguishing panel batteries, batteries of emergency lighting and guidance fixtures, CCTV and security system batteries, data center and network rack batteries, command and control panel DC supply batteries, energy storage systems and industrial battery groups used in critical processes. For forklift batteries, periodic inspections are carried out, especially in terms of battery room and battery charging area safety, ventilation and electrical installation suitability.
UPS batteries and energy storage systems; Most of the time, they are components that wait silently under normal network conditions, but take on the entire load in the event of a power outage. Secretly decreasing battery capacity, premature failure of a cell, corrosion on connections or incorrect charging voltage; It may cause the UPS to fail to meet the time unexpectedly, or the fire detection panel or emergency lighting systems to shut down. Regular battery periodic inspections and UPS battery tests; By detecting these risks in advance, it allows you to prevent unexpected downtime and business losses.
Periodic battery control in the field is generally carried out in three stages: preliminary preparation and document review, visual inspection and electrical tests. In the preliminary preparation phase; UPS and rectifier technical documents, battery catalogues, previous battery test reports and battery capacity status reports, UPS maintenance forms and, if available, Equipnet records are examined. The purpose of use of the facility (hospital, data center, industrial facility, warehouse, hotel, etc.), duration of critical loads, ambient temperature, battery room layout and fire safety conditions are evaluated; Accordingly, a battery test plan and battery periodic inspection form to be applied in the field are prepared.
During the visual inspection phase; The physical condition of the batteries (swelling, cracks, leakage), oxidation and loose connections at the terminals, cable cross-sections and insulation, busbar connections, intermediate bridges, fuses and separators are checked one by one. Also for battery room or forklift battery charging area; Headings such as natural or mechanical ventilation status, risk of hydrogen accumulation, precautions taken against acid spillage, chemical resistance and slope of the floor, eye shower and personal protective equipment facilities, warning signs and safety markings are also evaluated within the framework of the relevant regulations.
During the electrical testing phase; First of all, open circuit voltages, charge (float) voltages and inter-cell voltage imbalances of battery groups are measured. The internal state of each battery is then analyzed by battery impedance testing; This method is an internal resistance/impedance based testing method widely used in the industry for UPS battery testing and battery health monitoring. When necessary, battery load test and full capacity (autonomy) test with the load bank are performed on selected battery groups to verify whether the system provides the period specified in the catalogue; Test results are reported as battery capacity percentage, weak/monitored/replaced batteries and recommended actions.
UPS battery replacement should be planned taking into account periodic inspection results and battery test reports. In practice, the lifespan of many UPS batteries varies between 3 and 5 years, depending on ambient temperature, charging conditions and number of cycles; It is recommended to perform planned battery renewal before this period expires, especially in UPS systems that feed critical loads. Batteries whose internal resistance increases, whose capacity decreases significantly, whose voltage balance is disrupted, or which show physical deformation during periodic battery control; They are classified with priority levels such as urgent change, short term change.
Battery periodic inspection report; It includes visual inspection findings, voltage and internal resistance/impedance values measured for each battery or cell, results of applied battery load and capacity tests, if any, comparisons with relevant limit values and comments. In addition, the non-conformities detected for the battery room and battery charging area, critical points in terms of fire and explosion risk, and recommended corrective actions are also clearly stated in the report. This creates a guiding battery test report and battery capacity status report for both your technical teams and your occupational safety expert.
Battery periodic inspection and battery test reports; It is an important part of your periodic inspection obligations within the scope of the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment. Reports; It can be used as a basis document in your Gençliknet records, risk assessment carried out through İSG-KATIP, annual plan, emergency plan and explosion protection documents. Our Bursa battery periodic inspection reports; We prepare it with readable tables and summaries in a format that can be easily integrated into these processes.
In our Bursa battery periodic inspection service; We offer different scopes depending on the condition of your UPS and battery systems in the field. We can create different options, from just battery testing and measurement services to integrated packages that include UPS periodic maintenance, battery periodic maintenance, battery periodic inspection, grounding installation periodic inspection and electrical internal installation periodic inspection. Like this; By checking both your UPS devices, batteries and related installations during the same downtime, the integrity of the entire power chain can be seen in a single report set.
We organize battery periodic inspection not as a one-time service whenever possible, but through annual or multi-year periodic inspection and UPS battery maintenance contracts. Thus, internal resistance/impedance, capacity, voltage and temperature trends of past years can be monitored for each battery group; The replacement time of critical batteries can be planned proactively. This approach; It provides significant advantages in terms of both energy continuity and cost optimization, especially for large industrial facilities, data centers, hospitals and businesses operating 24/7 in Bursa.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is battery periodic inspection, which systems does it cover?
Battery periodic inspection; It is the visual inspection and electrical testing of industrial battery groups used in UPS (uninterruptible power supply), rectifier and DC panels, fire detection and alarm panels, emergency lighting and guidance systems, security and CCTV systems, data center and network shelves, energy storage systems, generator starting systems and similar critical processes at regular intervals. During the check, the physical condition of the batteries, connections, battery room or charging area conditions, voltage, internal resistance/impedance, load and, if necessary, capacity tests are evaluated; The results are documented in the form of a battery periodic inspection report and battery test report.
Are battery periodic inspection and battery periodic maintenance the same thing?
No. Battery periodic inspection or accumulator periodic inspection; It is a mandatory inspection, testing and reporting activity according to the legislation and must be carried out by authorized engineers or accredited organizations. Battery periodic maintenance; It covers more operating and service activities such as terminal cleaning, tightening of connections, ventilation and cleaning controls of the battery room, charging voltage settings, electrolyte level in flooded batteries. The healthiest approach; Following periodic maintenance operations, the status of the system is officially verified with an independent battery periodic inspection, battery load/capacity tests and battery test report.
What is the accumulator periodic inspection period? How often should battery periodic inspection be performed?
For accumulator (battery) periodic inspection and inspection, the maximum control period is accepted as 1 year, unless a special period outside the scope is defined in the relevant standards. For this reason, battery groups used in critical systems such as UPS batteries, rectifier-fed DC panels, fire detection panels and emergency lighting batteries must be subjected to periodic battery control at least once a year. In facilities where there are risks such as high temperature, intense discharge or charge cycle, chemical environment or explosive atmosphere, this period can be increased according to risk analysis and battery test results.
How to test UPS battery? What methods are used?
UPS battery test; It starts by measuring the open circuit voltage, float charge voltage and inter-cell voltage imbalances of the battery groups. The internal state of each battery is then analyzed with internal resistance/impedance tests; These tests are used to detect batteries that are weakening or approaching failure at an early stage. When necessary, battery load test and full capacity (autonomy) tests are performed with the load bank on the UPS battery groups to verify whether the system provides the period specified in the catalogue. In advanced applications, battery health is monitored using battery capacity status reports, trend tracking and continuous UPS battery monitoring solutions.
When should UPS battery replacement be done? How long do batteries last?
Life of UPS batteries; Although it varies depending on ambient temperature, charger settings, discharge frequency, battery type (VRLA, AGM, gel, Ni-Cd, lithium ion, etc.) and usage conditions, in practice it is planned to be between 3 and 5 years in many facilities. However, this period can be misleading if it is not supported by periodic battery tests and internal resistance/impedance trends. During battery periodic inspections; Batteries with significantly increased internal resistance, reduced capacity, physical deformation, or seriously separated from others in a series are classified as urgent replacement and a planned UPS battery replacement is recommended.
