What is GMDSS Battery Maintenance Guidelines about?

GMDSS batteries are crucial for powering GMDSS equipment during power failures, with specific requirements outlined in SOLAS Regulation 13, Chapter 4. They must provide power for 1 hour with emergency generators and 6 hours without, be recharged in under 10 hours, and have their capacity checked at least every 12 months. Regular maintenance, including daily on load/off load tests, yearly capacity tests, and general maintenance, is essential to ensure the batteries are ready for emergencies.
