IEC 63115-1:2020 pdf download.Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes
1 Scope
This document specifies the marking, designation, tests and requirements for sealed nickel-metal hydride cells and batteries used in industrial applications, including stationary applications. When an IEC International Standard specifying test conditions and requirements for cells used in special applications is in conflict with this document, the former takes precedence (e.g. IEC 62675). The following are some examples of applications that utilize the cells and batteries falling under the scope of this document. Stationary applications: telecom, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), electrical energy storage system, utility switching, emergency power and similar applications. Motive applications: fork-lift truck, golf cart, AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle), railway, and marine, excluding road vehicles. Since this document covers batteries for various industrial applications, it includes those requirements that are common and minimum to the various applications. This document applies to cells and batteries. If the battery is divided into smaller units, the smaller unit can be tested as representative of the battery. The manufacturer clearly declares the tested unit. The manufacturer can add functions to the tested unit that are present in the final battery.
