Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries

This part of IEC 62485 applies to secondary batteries and battery installations used for electric vehicles (e.g., in electric industrial trucks, including lift trucks, tow trucks, cleaning machines, automatic guided vehicles), battery powered locomotives, electric vehicles (e.g., goods vehicles, golf carts, bicycles, wheelchairs) and does not cover the design of such vehicles. The standard covers Lead dioxide-Lead (Lead-Acid), nickel oxide-cadmium, nickel-oxide-metal hydride and other alkaline secondary batteries.

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.

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.

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.
