Scope: This International Standard is applicable to performance and endurance tests for secondary batteries used for vehicle propulsion applications. Its objective is to specify certain essential characteristics of cells@ batteries@ monoblocks@ modules and battery systems used for propulsion of electric road vehicles@ including hybrid electric vehicles@ together with the relevant test methods for their specification. The tests may be used specifically to test batteries developed for use in vehicles such as passenger vehicles@ motor cycles@ commercial vehicles@ etc. This standard is not applicable to battery systems for specialist vehicles such as public transport vehicles@ refuse collection vehicles or heavy duty vehicles@ where the battery is used in the similar way to the industrial vehicles. The test procedures are defined as a function of the vehicle requirements of performance. This standard is applicable to lead-acid batteries@ Ni/Cd batteries@ Ni/MH batteries and sodium based batteries used in electric road vehicles. Annex A specifies performance and cycle life test procedures of Ni/MH batteries used for the propulsion of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). NOTE This standard is not applicable to lithium-ion batteries for automobile application that are specified in IEC 62660-1@ IEC 62660-2@ ISO 12405-1 and ISO 12405-2 (to be published).
