Telephone Central Office Switching equipment operate on (-48 volts DC (meaning the Hot side is negative) from banks of batteries connected together using big fat cables coated with NO-OX-ID. The batteries are stored in a separate room from the Switching equipment. The Switching equipment get their power directly from the batteries. The batteries are charged from rectifiers that run on outside AC power from the local utility. The rectifiers convert 220 AC power to -48 volts DC to charge the batteries. The back-up power source to charge the batteries are diesel generators. When they loose outside AC power the diesel generators automatically start up and charge the batteries. They have about 4 hours of diesel fuel, the batteries then are on there own, and last about 4 hours, then phones go DEAD.
The telephone company has been using NO-OX-ID for seventy years.
After reading the above, do you think NO-OX-ID would work on batteries?

Thanks
