Nickel Cadmium Batteries

The sizing of nickel-cadmium batteries used in standby operation for stationary applications is discussed in this recommended practice

Specifies tests and requirements for sealed nickel-cadmium rechargeable monobloc batteries in button cell design, suitable for use in any orientation. The contents of the corrigendum of March 1992 have been included in this copy

Specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for sealed nickel-cadmium small prismatic rechargeable single cells, suitable for use in any orientation

Applies to portable rechargeable or secondary cells and batteries based on the following electrotechnical systems: nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride and lithium ion.

This International standard specifies tests and requirements for verifying the mechanical behaviour of sealed portable secondary cells and batteries during handling and normal use. Relevant national and International standards have been taken into consideration.

This part of IEC 61951 specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for portable sealed nickel-cadmium small prismatic, cylindrical and button rechargeable single cells, suitable for use in any orientation.

Description: Revision of IEEE Std 946-1992 Guidance for the design of the DC auxiliary power systems for nuclear and non-nuclear power generating stations is provided by this recommended practice. The components of the DC auxiliary power system addressed by this recommended practice include lead-acid storage batteries, static battery chargers, and distribution equipment.
