Battery Charger Performance is specified for vented nickel-cadmium batteries in maintenance testing at clause 7.18.1.2.B.2 of ANSI/NETA MTS-2023. The clause calls for the charger float and equalizing voltage levels to be measured and adjusted to the battery manufacturer's settings, and the next step for the charger functions and alarms to be verified.

Value: vented nickel-cadmium batteries

    5.0 Vented NiCd Batteries - 5.4 Battery Charging

    "Another difference with NiCd batteries is that they are not damaged by significant amounts of AC ripple on the output of the charger. The impedance of each cell is very low and nearly constant from a fully charged state to a nearly discharged state."
