Description / Abstract:
This part of IEC 60086 is intended to standardize primary
batteries with respect to dimensions, nomenclature, terminal
configurations, markings, test methods, typical performance, safety
and environmental aspects.
As a primary battery classification tool, electrochemical
systems are also standardized with respect to system letter,
electrodes, electrolyte, nominal and maximum open circuit
voltage.
NOTE The requirements justifying the inclusion or the ongoing
retention of batteries in the IEC 60086 series are given in Annex
A.
The object of this part of IEC 60086 is to benefit primary
battery users, device designers and battery manufacturers by
ensuring that batteries from different manufacturers are
interchangeable according to standard form, fit and function.
Furthermore, to ensure compliance with the above, this part
specifies standard test methods for testing primary cells and
batteries.
