24、 of this standard. All referenced voltages need to be divided by two for 6 V batteries. This European Standard is applicable to batteries for the following purposes: batteries for passenger cars, batteries for commercial and industrial vehicles.

29、cteristics, the relevant test methods and results required, for several classes and types of starter batteries. For general definitions of terms see IEC 60050-482, Part 482 of the International Electro-technical Vocabulary (IEV). BS EN 50342-1:2015EN 50342-1:2015 (E) 6 3.2 Designation of starter bat
30、teries Batteries are classified according to their types. 3.2.1 flooded or vented batteries secondary battery having a cover provided with one or more openings through which gaseous products may escape 3.2.2 Enhanced Flooded Batteries EFB secondary batteries with additional special design features t
31、o significantly improve the cycling capability compared to standard flooded batteries Note 1 to entry: These batteries need to have a water consumption performance level of W3, W4 or W5. 3.2.3 Valve Regulated Lead-Acid batteries VRLA valve regulated lead-acid batteries are secondary batteries which
32、are closed under normal conditions but which has an arrangement that allows the escape of gas if the internal pressure exceeds a predetermined value Note 1 to entry: The battery cannot receive addition to the electrolyte. In VRLA batteries the electrolyte is immobilized. 3.2.4 Absorbent Glass Mat ba
33、tteries AGM VRLA batteries in which the electrolyte is immobilized by absorption in a glass mat 3.2.5 gel batteries VRLA batteries in which the electrolyte is immobilized by fixing as gel 3.3 Condition on delivery 3.3.1 Specific gravity of electrolyte and open circuit voltage Specific gravity of ele
34、ctrolyte and open circuit voltage of a lead acid battery depend on its state of charge and temperature. The specific gravity of the electrolyte of fully charged vented batteries shall be in the range 1,27 kg/l to 1,30 kg/l at 25 C unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer. The open circuit volt
35、age (OCV), of fully charged batteries after a minimum of 24 h stand on open circuit, shall be in the range 12,70 V to 12,90 V for vented types and 12,80 V to 13,00 V for valve regulated types at 25 C unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer. 3.3.2 Definition of fully charged new battery New ve
36、nted batteries may be supplied: - either in a state ready for use, filled with the appropriate electrolyte to the maximum level. 24 h after an initial charge (according to 5.2), the specific gravity of electrolyte or OCV shall be within the ranges specified in 3.3.1. In batteries with lids without p
37、lugs checking specific gravity of electrolyte is generally not possible. In these cases, only OCV shall be checked according to 3.3.1; BS EN 50342-1:2015EN 50342-1:2015 (E) 7 - or dry charged as defined in Clause 7. Valve regulated batteries are normally supplied in a state ready for use. After an i
38、nitial charge according to 5.2 followed by a 24 h rest period, the OCV shall be within the range specified in 3.3.1. For these batteries, the electrolyte is not accessible and therefore its specific gravity cannot be checked. 3.4 Electrical characteristics 3.4.1 The cranking current Icc, to be indic
39、ated by the manufacturer, is the discharge current which the battery can supply at 18C for 10 s to a minimum voltage Uf= 7,50 V and meeting requirements of a simulated cranking profile according to 6.2. It is used as well to check the high current discharge performance according to 6.3. 3.4.2 The ca
40、pacity of a starter battery is defined for the temperature of 25 C 2 C. The nominal capacity Cnin this standard is a C20. It shall be indicated by the manufacturer as nominal 20 h capacity C20 (Ah). The nominal 20 h capacity Cnis the electric charge (in Ah) that a battery can supply with a current:
41、20nnhCI = (A) to a final voltage Uf= 10,50 V. The effective capacity Ceshall be determined by discharging a battery with constant current Into Uf= 10,50 V (see 6.1). 3.4.3 The charge acceptance is expressed as the current Icawhich a partially discharged battery accepts at 0 C and a constant voltage
42、of 14,40 V (see 6.4). 3.4.4 Charge retention is measured by the high current discharge performance of the charged and filled battery after storage on open circuit under defined conditions of temperature and time (see 6.5). 3.4.5 The Cycling test represents the ability of a battery to perform repeate
43、d discharge / recharge cycles. This ability shall be tested by a series of cycles under specified conditions after which the cold cranking performance and the 20 h capacity shall be determined (see 6.6). 3.4.6 The Corrosion test checks the resistance of a battery against overcharging at increased te
44、mperatures (see 6.7) 3.4.7 The Deep discharge test represents the ability of battery to overcome an over discharge in a vehicle by small loads during parking for a long time (see 6.8) 3.4.8 Water consumption test checks if the battery can keep its performance under extended exposure to heat and over
45、charge conditions. It is measured as loss of weight during overcharge of a fully charged battery and is defined as g/Ah Ce(see 6.9). 3.5 Mechanical characteristics 3.5.1 Vibration resistance represents the ability of a battery to maintain service under acceleration forces. (see 6.10) 3.5.2 Electroly
46、te retention is the ability of a battery to retain electrolyte under specified mechanical conditions (see 6.11).
