Navair 1715bad1 Battery Manual -

The NAVAIR 17-15BAD-1 manual outlines mandatory procedures for servicing and maintaining lead-acid and Ni-Cd batteries in naval aircraft, including capacity testing at one-hour rates and specific constant potential charging protocols. Proper storage requires storing batteries in clean, well-ventilated areas, ensuring strict segregation, and following NAVOSH guidelines. Review the full manual at cdn.prod.website-files.com.

NAVAIR 17-15BAD-1 ensures:

3.3 Capacity Test (Acceptance Test)

• The manual mandates a deep discharge at C/1 rate to 20V followed by recharge. Pass criteria: ≥95% of rated capacity.
• Record results on the battery log card (see Chapter 7).

• Perform three full charge/discharge cycles (27.6V charge, 5A discharge).
• If capacity does not exceed 85% after three cycles – remove from service.

Problem 2: Slow cranking / low voltage under load

• Probable: Sulfation (lead-acid) or "cadmium starvation" (Ni-Cd).
• Check: Specific gravity (Ni-Cd: 1.205-1.220 at 25°C). Low = add electrolyte. Low after addition = replace.

Section 1: What is the NAVAIR 1715BAD1 Battery?

Before diving into the manual, one must understand the hardware. The 1715BAD1 is a valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) or, in some revisions, a sealed absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery. It is designed to deliver high cold-cranking amps (CCA) in a compact, vibration-resistant casing suitable for airfield and flight deck environments. The manual mandates a deep discharge at C/1
