(2) Polarization test
(a) Charge the battery at 4 A for 1.5 hours.
(b) Keep the battery in the "open circuit" condition for 1 hour.
(c) Measure the open circuit voltage of each cell.
(d) If the open circuit voltage of one cell is 0 V (or negative), do a supplementary test
( Subtask 24-32-13-750-010-A01). Then repair.
(e) If all cells show an open circuit voltage that is more than 0 volts, charge the battery.
SUBTASK 24-32-13-780-001-A01
(3) Vent valve test
NOTE: The Vent Valve Test is not necessary if the full set of used vent
valves is replaced by a brand new one each year during the
General Overhaul or when there is evidence of electrolyte overflow.
Before you put the vent valve back on the cells, make sure that they operate correctly.
(a) Install the vent valve (190) with its O-ring on the end of a metal tube which has an
applicable end-piece.
(b) Connect this tube to a supply of compressed air through an adjustable reducing valve.

(c) Adjust the pressure to 0.5 bar (7.25 psi) and put the vent valve into a container of
water. Air bubbles come out when the valve opens. If there are no bubbles, increase
the pressure until you see bubbles. Then decrease the pressure slowly to 0.1 bar (1.45
psi) and monitor the pressure at which the bubbles stop.
(d) Reject all vent valves that have an opening pressure of more than 0.7 bar (10 psi) or
less than 0.14 bar (2 psi).

SUBTASK 24-32-13-750-010-A01
(4) Supplementary test
The first test charge can be unsatisfactory if the electrolyte level is too low in some cells
(because the level is not adjusted until the end of this charge). If you find defects, adjust
the electrolyte level and do the test below:
NOTE: If you charge the battery more than necessary, you decrease the life of the cells.
Thus, do this special test only if a battery malfunction occurred in the aircraft, or defects are
found during shop maintenance.
(a) Charge the battery (Subtask 24-32-13-820-003-A01). At the end of the total charge
time, continue to charge at 4 A for 5 more hours. Regularly record the voltage of the
cells. The temperature of cells that have damaged separators increases very much and
continuously. The voltage of these cells continuously decreases to less than 1.55 V.
(b) Adjust the electrolyte level during the last 30 minutes of charge.
(c) Discharge at 40 A down to 1 V/cell.
(d) After this test, discard the defective cells:
- Cells with a voltage of less than 1.55 V at the end of the charge.
- Cells with a voltage that decreases to less than 1 V before one hour of discharge
(during the last test discharge).
(e) Short-circuited cells (zero volts).

Do the check at ambient conditions:
- Ambient temperature: 23 ± 5 C (73 ± 9 F).
- Pressure: 85 to 106 kPa (25.1 to 31.3 InHg).
- Relative humidity: ≤ 85 %.
D. Procedure
SUBTASK 24-32-13-210-001-A01
(1) Periodical check
If the electrolyte consumption is more than the usual consumption between 2 regular checks, do
this periodical check:(Ref. Fig. 5001)
(a) Charge the battery
1 Discharge the remaining capacity at 40 A down to a voltage of 20 V at the battery

terminals.
2 When the battery temperature is at usual temperature range, 23 C ± 5 C (73 ± 9 F),

charge the battery (TASK 24-32-13-800-801-A01).
24-32-13 Page 5002

Sep 22/06
405CH23
3 During the last 1/2 hour of the charge (while the charge current continues to flow),
adjust the level of electrolyte in the cells (refer to (b)). Write down the quantity of water
that is added to each cell. The electrolyte level changes with the battery charge. The
level changes as if the plates absorbed a part of the electrolyte during the discharge
and released it during the charge. Therefore the level checks are only satisfactory if
they are done almost at the end of the charge (but during the charge). Leakage can
occur during operation if you do not obey these instructions when you add liquid.
4 Measure the voltage of each cell.
(b) Adjust the electrolyte level:
NOTE: For this operation, use plastic syringe with a plastic nozzle (T02) (refer to
SPECIAL TOOLS, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT). The length of the nozzle is
20 mm (0.79 in). This is the distance necessary between the seat of the vent
valve and the electrolyte (Ref. Fig. 5002).
WARNING: DO NOT USE ACID OR ACIDULATED WATER TO ADJUST THE

ELECTROLYTE LEVELS IN NICKEL-CADMIUM CELLS. A VERY SMALL
QUANTITY OF ACID IS SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
1 To adjust the level, keep the shoulder of the syringe nozzle against the seat of
the vent valve and pull the plunger up.
2 If the level is not sufficient, the syringe tube stays empty when you pull the plunger.
Add distilled water to these cells. (The syringe is small, it can be necessary to do this
step more than one time for each cell).

3 If there is too much liquid, this liquid is removed by the syringe until the level aligns
with the end of the nozzle.The level is correct when only a small quantity of liquid
goes into the syringe when you pull the plunger.
4 Write down the quantity of distilled water added to each cell.
(c) Vent valve cleaning
1 Clean the vent valve (190) (Ref. to CLEANING) when you adjust the electrolyte levels.
(d) Nut tightness
1 Make sure that all the nuts that attach the links are torqued (Ref. to FITS AND
CLEARANCES).
(e) Results of the above procedures
1 The battery operates correctly if:
- The voltage of each cell measured during the last hour of charge at 4 A is not
less than 1.55 V.
- Approximately the same quantity of distilled water is added to each cell. This
quantity must be less than 60 cm3 (3.66 in3).
NOTE: If the average quantity of water added to all the cells is close to 60 cm3/cell
(3.66 in3/cell), do the electrolyte level check more frequently.

2 Do a full overhaul of the battery if:
(refer to Subtask 24-32-13-210-003-A01)
- the quantity of water necessary for one or more cell(s) is much higher or smaller
than for the other cells.
- the voltage of each cell measured at the end of a 4 A charge is less than 1.55 V
(refer to TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION).
SUBTASK 24-32-13- 210-002-A01

(2) Regular check
BEFORE A MAXIMUM OF ONE YEAR, do this battery test (Ref. Fig. 5003).
NOTE: According to aircraft operation, the ratio between operating hours (aircraft "power on")
and flying hours is generally in the 1.2 to 2 range.
(a) Measurement of the voltage
1 Measure the voltage in open circuit at the terminal of the battery. If Ubat < 21 V,
then do the polarization test.
(b) Residual discharge
1 Discharge the remaining capacity at 40 A down to a voltage of 20 V at the battery

terminals. Measure the time from the start of discharge to the time when the
voltage reaches 20 V.
(c) 1 cell shorting
1 Connect a resistor approximately 1 3 W (T03) across each cell and continue to

discharge. Resistors with crocodile clips attached to their leads can easily be attached
to the cell terminals. Keep the resistors in position for 12 hours. Remove all resistors.

(d) Charge the battery
1 Refer to "Periodical Check".
(e) Adjustment of electrolyte
(f) Capacity check
1 Immediately after the charge and the level adjustment, discharge the battery again
at 40 A. At 1 hour of discharge, measure the voltage of each cell. This voltage
must be over 1 V. Continue to discharge the battery down to 20 V. Write the time
necessary for the second discharge.
(g) Vent valve cleaning
(h) Results of the above tests:
1 The battery operates correctly if:
- The time necessary for the first discharge is more than 30 minutes.
- The time necessary for the second discharge is not less than 1 hour.
- The voltage of each cell measured during the last hour of the charge at 4 A is
not less than 1.55V.
- The variation of water consumption in individual cell does not exceed ±30% of the
average consumption for all cells.The maximum limit is 60 cm3 (3.66 in3).
NOTE: If the average quantity of water added to all the cells is close to 60 cm3/cell
(3.66 in3/cell), do the electrolyte level check more frequently.
- If the first discharge time is less than 30 minutes but the second discharge time is
correct: the battery is in good condition but was not fully charged when removed from
the aircraft. This condition can be caused by an incorrect charge in the aircraft and/or
a discharge caused by an unusual operation of the battery after landing.
2 Do a full overhaul of the battery if:
- the quantity of water necessary for one or more cell(s) is much higher or smaller
than for the other cells.
- the voltage of each cell measured at the end of a 4 A charge is less than 1.55 V
(refer to TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION).
- The second discharge time is less the correct one or one cell has a voltage of less
than 1 V (or incorrect polarity before 1 hour of discharge).
NOTE: The decrease of water in a cell is in proportion to the overcharge. Thus, the
decrease should be the same for all 20 cells in the battery.
24-32-13 Page 5008

Sep 22/06
405CH23
- If the quantity of water necessary for one or more cell(s) (in the same battery) is
much higher (or smaller) than the other cells. This means that there is a defect:
- Leakage usually causes heavy decrease.
- A damaged separator causes low decrease.
SUBTASK 24-32-13-210-003-A01
(3) General overhaul (minimum 1 per year)
This overhaul includes electrical tests. It also includes disassembly and cleaning procedures to

TASK 24-32-13-871-802-A01
1. Introduction
A. General
The Illustrated Parts List (IPL) is written in compliance with ATA 2200 specifications. The IPL is
intended to identify the components of the unit.
The Illustrated Parts List (IPL) contains a list and the illustrations of the assemblies, and the detailed
parts of the unit, in the disassembly sequence. It includes these sections:
– Introduction (INTRO),
– Numerical Index (NI),
– Detailed Parts List (DPL).
B. How to Use the Illustrated Parts List
(1) You can find the illustration for a part, if you know the part number. Refer to the Numerical Index
and look for the part number and the related figure and item number. Refer to the Detailed
Parts List and look for the first figure and item number found in the Numerical Index for this
part. It is possible that this figure shows the part in a section or a system of the component
other than the one necessary. If it does, refer to the other figure numbers which are given in
the Numerical Index.
(2) To determine the part number of a given part, refer to the illustration which shows the assembly
with this part. Record the item number of the illustrated part and refer to the Detailed Parts List,
which gives its part number and its description.
C. Numerical Index (NI)
(1) In this index, the part numbers are classified in this sequence:
(a) The classification is made from the left to the right. Each digit (letter, numeral, dash)
has its own meaning.
(b) The sequence in the first left row is:
1 an alpha letter A to Z (but not the "O" and the "I", because it is possible to read these
letters as a zero and a one),
2 a numeral 0 to 9.
(c) For the subsequent rows, the sequence is:
1 a dash,
2 an alpha letter A to Z (but not the "O" and the "I", because it is possible to read these
letters as a zero and a one),
3 a numeral 0 to 9.
(d) The part number column contains all the part numbers which are included in the Detailed
Parts List. The part numbers which are deleted or superseded in the Detailed Part List are
listed in the Numerical Index, and they are identified as deleted or superseded.
24-32-13 Page 10003

405CH23
D. Detailed Parts List (DPL)
(1) Figure and Item Number
(a) Each assembly, sub-assembly and part which has a part number, and which is given in
the parts list, has an item number.
(b) The figure number which is related to the item number is shown on the first line, at
the top of each page.
(c) Assemblies, the Sub-assemblies numbered parts which are in the list, but which are not
illustrated, are identified with a dash (-) before the item number.
(d) An index letter before the item number is cross-referenced to the figure which shows the
modication of the part.
(2) Manufacturer’s Part Number
A manufacturer’s part number is given to each assembly and to each detailed part, if it is
illustrated and also if it is not illustrated.
(3) Nomenclature
(a) The nomenclature is given with an indenture, to show how the parts and the assemblies
and related to their next higher assemblies. These are the details:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Assembly
• Detailed parts for the assembly
• Sub-assembly
• Attaching parts and/or storage parts for the sub-assembly
***
• • Detailed parts for the sub-assembly
• • Sub-sub-assembly
• • Attaching parts and/or storage parts for the sub-sub-assembly
***
• • • Detailed parts for the sub-sub-assembly
(b) The attaching parts are shown immediately after the assembly of the part. In the list, they
are below the same indenture number as the item they attach, and they are identified by
the words "Attaching Parts". They are followed by three asterisks.
(c) The manufacturer’s code, or the abbreviation NP (not procurable), is put at the end
right-hand side of the first line of the nomenclature column on the right side.
(4) Effectivity Code
(a) An alphanumerical index gives the effectivity of the sub-assemblies, and it gives the
detailed parts list in relation to the next higher assembly(ies) or sub-assembly(ies).
24-32-13 Page 10004

Oct 10/05
405CH23
(b) When the effectivity is fully applicable, the use code column stays empty.
(c) The use code for the assemblies, and the detailed parts list, refer to the figure/item
number of the next higher assembly(ies) or sub-assembly(ies). Example: Effectivity 1A,
1B, 1C is written 1ABC.
(5) Units per Assembly
(a) The units per assembly column shows the quantity of units necessary for one next
higher assembly.
(b) In some cases, the information is replaced by the abbreviation RF (for reference) or
AR (as required).
