Other selection factors recommended by ANSI/IEEE Std 485 are the following:
1.
Physical characteristics, such as size and weight of the cells, container material, vent
caps, intercell connectors, and terminals
2.
Planned life of the installation and expected life of the cell design
3.
Frequency and depth of discharge
4.
Ambient temperature
5.
Maintenance requirements for the various cell designs
6.
Seismic characteristics of the cell design.
Additional requirements for nuclear facility service are contained in ANSI/IEEE Std 535,
IEEE Standard for Qualification of Class 1E Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power
Generating Substations.
