BS EN 61044 covers the “opportunity-charging” of lead-acid traction batteries, i.e. the use of free time during a working period to top up the charge and thus extend the working day of a battery whilst avoiding excessive discharge.
The object of BS EN 61044 is to lay down rules or recommendations for the use of opportunity-charging of traction batteries.
BS EN 61044 on lead-acid traction batteries is helpful for:
Having access to reliable requirements is essential to prepare and use quality lead-acid traction batteries. BS EN 61044 provides manufacturers with the specifications, requirements and planning procedures which allows them to effectively manufacture and use lead-acid traction batteries.
BS EN 61044 provides users with efficient and standardized lead-acid traction batteries.
