The sizing of nickel-cadmium batteries used in full float operation for stationary applications is covered in this recommended practice.

This recommended practice covers the sizing of nickel-cadmium batteries used in full float operation for
stationary applications. 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.
The purpose of this recommended practice is to provide a proven and standardized sizing technique for
nickel-cadmium batteries. This sizing method takes normal usage factors into account, and forms the basis for reliable battery operation.
