This European Standard is applicable to lead-acid batteries used for heavy vehicles.
The object of this European Standard is to specify the European requirements of the main
dimensions of starter batteries.
For new and future developments of the above applications it is strongly recommended that only
batteries from the “Preferred Types” series be used.
Batteries of the series of “Other Types” exist under several national standards. They have been
transferred from the previous standard EN 60095-4.
The preferred types A, B and C are newly introduced and correspond closely to the types D4, D5
and D6 with some differences in tolerances and dimensions.
