The scope of work shall be Supply, Installation and commissioning of

12 volts each 32 x 2 Nos. (Two battery bank set) of SMF-VRLA-AGM lead
acid batteries under Buy
back Offer
as per our technical
specifications for UPS application.
Two battery banks are connected in parallel to enhance the Ah
capacity.
One bank consists of 32 cells.
The chargeable batteries shall be Lead Acid Maintenance free (SMFVRLA- AGM) type and shall be normal discharge type and shall conform
to IS 15549:2005 / IEC 60896-21&22 : 2005 standards. These batteries
are to be factory filled, charged & shall be suitable for a long life under
continuous float operation and occasional discharges.
The end cell voltage after discharge shall be limited to 10.8 volts per
cell. Batteries shall not require any water topping up and shall emit no
corrosive fumes or gases under normal operating conditions.
The batteries shall be supplied along with all necessary accessories to
form two single battery banks.
The value of the bid shall be evaluated on the basis of offer
submitted for supply portion + installation and commissioning
+ buy back.
Bidder shall furnish to RGPPL along with acceptance of order a CPG of
10% of the PO value valid for warranty period + 90 days
The warranty period shall be 24 months from the date of completion of
discharge test.

X.

The bidders shall submit the QUALITY PLAN as per standard along with
the offer and QAP shall be finalized prior to the award of Purchase
Order.

Construction Features:
Plates:
The Positive and Negative plates shall be constructed of heavy duty lead
alloy grids type. The plates shall be corrosion resistant and shall have low
self discharge properties. The plates shall be designed for maximum
durability during all service conditions including high rate of discharge and
rapid fluctuation of load.

Containers and Covers:

The container material shall have chemical & electro-chemical compatibility
and shall be acid resistant ABS material. The material shall meet all the
requirements of VRLA batteries and be consistent with the life of battery. The
container shall be fire retardant. The porosity of the container shall be such
as not to allow any gases to escape except from the regulation valve. The
tensile strength of the material of the container shall be such as to handle
the internal cell pressure of the cells in the worst working condition. Cell shall
not show any deformity of bulge on the sides under all working conditions.
The cell covers shall be made of suitable material compatible with the
container material and permanently fixed with the container by Hermetic
Heat Sealing technique. It shall be capable to withstand internal pressure
without bulging or cracking. It shall also be fire retardant. Fixing of Pressure
Regulation Valve & terminal posts in the cover shall be such that the seepage
of electrolyte, gas escapes and entry of electro-static spark are prevented.
For identification, each cell/module shall be marked in a permanent manner
to indicate the following information:
1. Cell Serial No.
2. Positive and Negative, embossed on the cover.
3. Month and year of Manufacturing.
Separators:

The separators used in manufacturing of battery cells, shall be of glass mat

or synthetic material having high acid absorption capability, resistant to
sulphuric acid and shall have good insulating properties. Sufficient separator
overlap and PVC shield protection in bottom edges of the plates is to be
provided to prevent short circuit formation between the edges of adjacent
plates. The design of separators shall ensure that there is no misalignment
during normal operation and handling.
Pressure Regulated Valve:
Each cell shall be provided with a pressure regulation valve which shall be
self re-sealable. The vent plug shall be made with suitable grade of fire
retardant plastic material. Each valve opening shall be covered with flame
barrier capable of preventing the ingress of flame into the cell interior, when
the valve opens and hydrogen/ oxygen gas mixture is released. The valve
unit shall be such that it cannot be opened without a proper tool. The valve
shall be capable to withstand the internal cell pressure specified by the
manufacturer.

Terminal Posts:
Both the +ve and -ve terminals of the cells shall be capable of proper
termination and shall ensure its consistency with the life of the battery. The
terminals shall have lead plated adequate solid copper/ brass core crosssection to avoid overheating at maximum current load. The surface of the
terminal post extending above the cell cover including bolt hole shall be
coated with an acid resistant & corrosion retarding material. Both +ve and
-ve posts shall be clearly and unambiguously identifiable.

TYPE TEST:
The Bidder / Supplier shall submit for Owner's approval the reports of all the
type tests as per IS 15549:2004 / IEC 60896-21 & 22 one capacity per design
carried out within last seven years from the date of bid opening and the
test(s) should have been either conducted at an independent laboratory or
should have been witnessed by a client and shall submit along with tender
documents.
