IEEE 1115:1992

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.
Superseded by 1115-2000. Methods for defining the dc load and for sizing a nickel-cadmium battery to supply that load are described. Installation, maintenance, qualification, testing procedures, and consideration of battery types other than nickel-cadmium batteries are not included. Design of the dc system and sizing of the battery charger(s) are also not included.

This recommended practice describes methods for defining the dc load and for sizing a nickel-cadmium battery to supply that load. Some factors relating to cell selection are provided for consideration. Installation, maintenance, qualification, testing procedures, and consideration of battery types other than nickel-cadmium batteries are beyond the scope of this recommended practice. Design of the dc system and sizing of the battery charger(s)are also beyond the scope of this recommended practice.
