    TECHNICAL INFORMATION LETTER NO. 384B


    TO: All Boeing 737, DC 9, Airbus A 300, and de Havilland DHC-8 Operators

    SUBJECT: Capacitance Test for the 61-0478-9, 61-0478-11, and 61-3800-1 Battery Assemblies

    APPLICABILITY: 60-1321 Power Supply, CMM 33-50-42


    60-1411 Power Supply, CMM 33-50-29
    60-4068 Power Supply, CMM 33-50-52

    BACKGROUND

    It was brought to the attention of the Technical Publications Group that the revisions of the above
    CMMs were released to the airlines without the Capacitance Test and Deep Cycle Procedure in
    the Repair section. The following Capacitance Procedure will be added to each manual's Repair
    Section at the next revision to the manual.

    WARNING: DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT BATTERIES. ALWAYS TAPE WIRE LEADS UNTIL


    READY TO CONNECT.

    The Battery Assembly is to be outside the Power Supply before starting the procedure. Refer to
    the CMM for instructions on removing the battery assembly.

    1. General Repair

    General repair consists of replacing parts determined to be defective during CHECK,


    TESTING, and FAULT ISOLATION.

    2. Battery Restoration Procedure

    A. Discharge (See Figure 1)

    Discharge each cell in the battery pack separately until the voltage across each cell is
    below 0.2 Vdc. Immediately remove the load.

    B. Charge (See Figure 2)

    Charge the battery pack by supplying 250 mA for at least 16 hours. More than one
    battery pack can be charged by one power supply at the same time by connecting the
    battery packs in series. Battery packs should not be charged in parallel unless
    individual charging resistors are provided; e.g., 75 ohms/5 W to charge a battery (six
    series-connected cells) using a 28-Vdc supply.

    C. Capacitance Test (See Figure 3)

    CAUTION: DISCHARGE OF THE PACK DURING THIS TEST FOR MORE THAN 20
    MINUTES CAN LEAD TO DAMAGE OF ONE OR MORE CELLS DUE TO CELL
    REVERSAL.

    Connect the battery pack to a 2-ohm, 40-watt load through an ammeter. The battery
    pack should deliver 3.3 Amps, minimum, for 20 minutes. During discharge, the
    minimum cell voltage must be 1.1 Vdc. If below 1.1 Vdc, replace the cell.
