The CWA provides guidance on the specification, installation and operation of flow batteries. It facilitates the pre-commercial phase when flow batteries need to be compared with other flow batteries or other electrical storage devices. It provides guidance to conformity assessment bodes to benchmark flow battery conformity with existing directives and other regulations.

Specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and performance requirements for portable sealed Nickel Cadmium small prismatic, cylindrical and button rechargeable single cells, suitable for use in any orientation.

Specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and performance requirements for portable sealed nickel-metal hydride, small prismatic, cylindrical and button rechargeable single cells, suitable for use in any orientation. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2003 of which it constitutes a technical revision.

This standard and standard 62133-2 below are in development and are categorized in: Aerospace electric equipment and systems, Electrical and electronic equipment. These standards address safety of the respective battery chemistries for portable applications.

The standard covers specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for sealed nickel-metal hydride prismatic secondary single cells.

This technical report is in development is categorized in: Acid secondary, Alkaline secondary, Cells & batteries.

The document presents general requirements that Telcordia and participating industry representatives view as applicable to large format non-aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries to replace or interoperate with conventional batteries (i.e., Lead-Acid, nickel-based); function seamlessly with DC power plants; and provide reliable backup power to load equipment in a network environment of a typical telecommunications service provider.

The document provides a 3-level system of VRLA String Safety and Performance Criteria based on Telcordia generic requirements documents. The VRLA string criteria levels are defined as follows: ? Level 1, Safety and Minimal Operability – minimum acceptable level of compliance needed to preclude hazards and degradation of the network facility and hazards to personnel, and needed to ensure battery operability at the installation time in controlled environments.

1.1 These requirements cover electrical energy storage assemblies such as battery packs and combination electrochemical capacitor assemblies and modules that make up these assemblies for use in electric-powered vehicles as defined in this standard.
