Batteries are submitted to frequent and deep discharges with electrical power delivered to the propulsion system in short surges of high current when accelerating, followed by lower current levels when at cruising speed.
BS EN IEC 63193 specifies methods of tests tailored to batteries destined for two-wheelers (mopeds) and three-wheelers (e-rickshaws and delivery vehicles), and also to golf cars and similar light utility and multi-passenger vehicles so as to ensure satisfactory and safe battery performance in the intended application.
NOTE-
BS EN IEC 63193 does not apply for example to lead acid cells and batteries used for:
BS EN IEC 63193 on lead-acid batteries for propulsion power of lightweight vehicles is applicable to:
BS EN IEC 63193 specifies methods of tests tailored to lead-acid batteries to ensure satisfactory and safe battery performance.
Plastic material forming the cover and case of the monobloc can show a significant transparency to water vapour. This means than water can move into or be lost from the electrolyte depending on the water concentration in the surrounding medium. This water migration impacts the performance of VRLA-type monoblocs.
For this reason, BS EN IEC 63193 provides tests of VRLA/AGM- or VRLA/Gel-type monoblocs at temperatures different from ambient to be carried out in climate chambers if the case and cover are not made of polypropylene (PP) plastic.
BS EN IEC 63193 enables you to determine the battery capacity and, by derivation, the running time when a discharge is carried out.
