On the flight day (FD) 10, the crew conducted the EVA#4 and continued changing the batteries on the P6 truss, part of which was deferred task from the EVA#3.
The EVA#4 began at 10:54 p.m. July 24, and lasted for 7 hours 12 minutes.
The EVA crew removed the remaining four old batteries on the P6 truss, and installed four new batteries that were delivered on the Integrated Cargo Carrier - Vertical Light Deployable (ICC-VLD).
These batteries store electric power generated by the Solar Array Wing (SAW) and provide power during eclipse.
After the EVA, the ICC-VLD, with the six old batteries stored on it, was retrieved to the space shuttle Endeavour's payload bay.
