Revision Standard - Inactive-Reserved.
Revision of IEEE Std 1187-1996. This guide describes methods for selecting the appropriate type of valve-regulated, immobilized-electrolyte, recombinant lead-acid battery for any of a variety of stationary float applications. The purpose of this document is to ensure that the reader is aware of all significant issues that should be considered when selecting VRLA batteries, so that the user might make an informed decision.

This guide describes methods for selecting the appropriate type of valve-regulated, immobilized electrolyte, recombinant lead-acid battery for any of a variety of stationary float applications. Installation,
maintenance, sizing, and consideration of battery types, other than valve-regulated lead-acid batteries, are beyond the scope of this guide. Design of the dc system and sizing of the dc battery charger(s) are also beyond the scope of this guide.
The purpose of this document is to ensure that the reader is aware of all significant issues that should be considered when selecting VRLA batteries, so that the user might make an informed decision.
