1、BRITISH STANDARD BS EN 61434:1997 IEC 61434:1996 Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or non-acidic electrolytes Guidetothe designation of current in alkaline secondary cell and battery standards The European Standard EN61434:1996 has the status of a British Standard ICS 29.220.30BSEN61
2、434:1997 This British Standard, having been prepared under the directionof the Electrotechnical Sector Board, was published underthe authority of the Standards Board and comes intoeffect on 15September1997 BSI 09-1999 ISBN 0 580 28461 1 National foreword This British Standard is the English language
3、 version of EN61434:1996. It is identical with IEC61434:1996. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee PEL/21, Secondary cells and batteries, to Subcommittee PEL/21/1, Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline and other non-acidic electrolytes, which has t
4、he responsibility to: aid enquirers to understand the text; present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed; monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the
5、 UK. A list of organizations, represented on this Subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary. From 1 January 1997, all IEC publications have the number60000 added to the old number. For instance, IEC27-1 has been renumbered as IEC60027-1. For a period of time during the change over fro
6、m one numbering system to the other, publications may contain identifiers from both systems. Cross-references Attention is drawn to the fact that CEN and CENELEC Standards normally include an annex which lists normative references to international publications with their corresponding European publi
7、cations. The British Standards which implement these international or European publications may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled “International Standards Correspondence Index” or using the “Find” facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue. A British Standard
8、 does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an

20、arge currents have traditionally been expressed as fractions or multiples of C, where C is the rated capacity of the cell or battery in ampere hours (Ah). Objections have been raised that to divide or multiply C results in a fraction or multiple of Ah and it is therefore mathematically incorrect to
21、express current amperes (A) in this way. 1 Scope This International Standard applies to secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes. It proposes a mathematically correct method of current designation which shall be used in future secondary cell and battery standa
22、rds. 2 Method of designation The reference test current as specified in the various test methods detailed in a standard shall be expressed as: where All charge and discharge currents shall then be expressed as fractions or multiples of I t . The value of n used in the standard determines only the fr
23、action or multiple of I tused for the various specified purposes in that standard. For example, if n = 5, then the discharge current used to verify therated capacity shall be 0,2 I t A. If n = 1, the discharge current used to verify the rated capacity shall be 1,0 I t A. Note that the value of n use
24、d in the standard has no effect on the value of I t . The numerical value of I twill always be equal to the numerical value of C nregardless of the value of n. I t is the reference test current, in amperes; C n is the rated capacity of the cell or battery asdeclared by the manufacturer, in ampere-ho
25、urs; n is the time base (hours) for which the rated capacity is declared.
