1.1 These requirements cover portable primary (nonrechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) batteries for use as power sources in products. These batteries consist of either a single electrochemical cell or two or more cells connected in series, parallel, or both, that convert chemical energy into electrical energy by chemical reaction.
This standard applies to portable primary cells and batteries with aqueous electrolyte and a zinc anode (non-lithium)..
Specifies performance requirements for portable primary batteries with aqueous electrolyte and zinc anode (non-lithium) to ensure their safe operation under normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse
Applies to portable rechargeable or secondary cells and batteries based on the following electrotechnical systems: nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride and lithium ion.
Specifies tests and requirements for primary cells and batteries, including lithium carbon monofluoride, lithium manganese dioxide and lithium iron disulfide, to ensure their safe operation under normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse.
