Abstract

Specifies requirements for secondary batteries for use with power systems not connected to the distribution system of an electricity supply authority. Covers both performance and safety requirements and provides test methods.

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for secondary batteries for use with stand-alone power systems.
Stand-alone power systems are those that are not connected to the power distribution system of an electricity supply authority. Stand-alone systems are supplied with power from one or a combination of the following sources: a photovoltaic array, a wind generator, a water generator or a diesel generator. This Standard specifies requirements for all types of batteries including lead-acid and nickel-cadmium and covers both vented and sealed cells. The Standard includes tests designed to verify the capacity, efficiency and life of batteries (see Appendices A to I).
