What is BS EN 62620— Secondary-lithium batteries for industrial use about?

BS EN 62620 is an international standard that focuses on the qualities of secondary batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes.

BS EN 62620 specifies marking, tests, and requirements for lithium secondary cells and batteries used in industrial applications including stationary applications.

Since BS EN 62620 covers batteries for various industrial applications, BS EN 62620 includes those requirements, which are common and minimum to the various applications. It applies to cells and batteries. If the battery is divided into smaller units, the smaller unit can be tested as the representative of the battery.

The following are some examples of applications that utilize the cells and batteries under the scope of BS EN 62620:

Stationary applications: telecom, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), electrical energy storage system, utility switching, emergency power, and similar applications
Motive applications: fork-lift truck, golf cart, AGV, railway, and marine, excluding road vehicles

Who is BS EN 62620— Secondary-lithium batteries for industrial use for?

BS EN 62620 on secondary-lithium batteries for industrial use is useful for:

Manufacturers and suppliers of secondary-lithium batteries
Safety certification providing entities for secondary-lithium batteries
Dealers and distributors of secondary-lithium batteries
Designers of secondary-lithium batteries
Regulatory authorities for secondary-lithium batteries

Why should you use BS EN 62620— Secondary-lithium batteries for industrial use?

A secondary lithium cell is a secondary cell where electrical energy is derived from the insertion/extraction reactions of lithium ions or oxidation/reduction reaction of lithium between the negative electrode and the positive electrode.

BS EN 62620 illustrates the technicalities to carry out various test procedures to determine the parameters measurement tolerances, charging and discharging of secondary-lithium batteries for industrial use. It gives you details about the type-test conditions for approving the dimensions and other requirements, in order to manufacture the secondary lithium batteries that are according to the global standards.

BS EN 62620 also navigates the users for marking and designation norms for the secondary lithium batteries, as well as enables the users to execute the electrical test which helps them to check the endurance and durability of the secondary lithium batteries.
