Replacing the Batteries

If batteries are faulty or deteriorate, you must replace them. Generally, batteries are replaced in batches.

Prerequisites

The tools and materials, such as an ESD wrist strap or a pair of ESD gloves, Phillips screwdriver, ESD box or bag, and key to the cabinet door are ready.

The quantity and model of the faulty batteries are confirmed, and new batteries of the same quantity and model are ready.

The authorized personnel are permitted to enter the site. The required keys are available.

Context
NOTE:
After replacing 50 Ah storage batteries with 92 Ah storage batteries, you must change the value of the BC parameter. Otherwise, the performance of the storage batteries is affected.

DANGER:
During the replacement, short circuits or reverse connections cannot exist between the positive and negative poles of the batteries. All the tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers
must be coated with insulation tubes. This prevents the batteries from being burned and ensures personal safety.

Procedure
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap or a pair of ESD gloves.
CAUTION:
Take proper ESD protection measures, for example, wear an ESD wrist strap or a pair of ESD gloves, to prevent electrostatic damage to the boards, modules, or electronic
components.
2. Set the circuit breakers labeled BAT_SW0 and BAT_SW1 on the PDB to OFF.
3. Set the circuit breaker labeled BAT on the panel of the EPS subrack to OFF.
4. Remove the cover plate from the batteries, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Removing the cover plate from the batteries

5. Label the input power cables on the positive and negative poles of the batteries and the cables for series connection of batteries, and then disconnect the cables, as shown in
Figure 2.

6. Hold the steering rope to pull the batteries out. Remove the batteries on this layer with your hands and place them in a safe location.
NOTE:

Remove the baffle plates and batteries from top to bottom. Remove the batteries before removing the baffle plate of the lower layer.
Remove and place the batteries with your hands to prevent the batteries from falling.

7. Install the new batteries layer by layer and connect the input power cables and the cables for series connection of batteries based on the cable connection records.
NOTE:

Install all the batteries and baffle plates from bottom to up. Install the batteries before installing the baffle plate of the upper layer.
Ensure that the cables are securely and correctly connected.

8. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage at both ends of the battery pack to prevent reverse connection.
9. Set the circuit breaker labeled BAT on the panel of the EPS subrack to ON.
10. Set the circuit breakers labeled BAT_SW0 and BAT_SW1 on the PDB to ON.

11. Take off the ESD wrist strap or gloves, and pack up all the tools.

Follow-up Procedure

Place the replaced batteries into the ESD box or bag. Then, place the ESD box or bag into a carton padded with foam or into the packing box of the new batteries.

Fill in the fault form with the details of the replaced batteries.

Contact the local Huawei office to handle the faulty batteries.
