Nickel Cadmium Batteries

The standard specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for vented Nickel Cadmium prismatic secondary single cells.

This international standard provides general information about secondary batteries used in PVES and the typical methods of test used for the verification of battery performance. This standard does not include specific information relating to battery sizing, method of charge or PVES design. NOTE: This standard is applicable to Lead-Acid and Nickel Cadmium cells and batteries. This standard will be amended to include other electrochemical systems when they become available.

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.

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 specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for vented Nickel Cadmium prismatic secondary single cells where special provisions have been made in order to have partial or, under very specific conditions, full gas recombination.

This part of the IEC 62485 applies to stationary secondary batteries and battery installations with a maximum voltage of DC 1 500 V (nominal) and describes the principal measures for protections against hazards generated from electricity, gas emission, and electrolyte.

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

This standard applies to electrolytes and their components when used in vented nickel-cadmium cells. These electrolytes are used: for filling cells supplied without filling electrolyte, and/or, for refilling cells if change of electrolyte is required, and/or, if the operating electrolyte needs to be topped up with water, provided no specific recommendations from the manufacturer are available.

This International Standard defines the conditions of utilization of the recycling symbol of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) associated with the chemical symbols indicating the electrochemical system of the battery. This standard applies to lead-acid batteries (Pb) and nickel-cadmium batteries (Ni-Cd).
