Secondary batteries (except lithium) for the propulsion of electric road vehicles - Performance and endurance tests

IEC 61982:2012 is applicable to performance and endurance tests for secondary batteries used for vehicle propulsion applications. This standard is applicable to lead-acid batteries, Ni/Cd batteries, Ni/MH batteries and sodium based batteries used in electric road vehicles. This first edition cancels and replaces the IEC 61982-1:2006, the IEC 61982-2:2002 and the IEC 61982-3: 2001. It constitutes a technical revision.

Sekundärbatterien (ausgenommen Lithium-Batterien) für den Antrieb von Elektrostraßenfahrzeugen - Kapazitäts- und Lebensdauerprüfungen

Accumulateurs (excepté lithium) pour la propulsion des véhicules routiers électriques - Essais de performance et d'endurance

La CEI 61982:2012 s'applique aux essais de performance et d'endurance des accumulateurs utilisés dans les applications de propulsion des véhicules. La présente norme concerne les batteries au plomb, les batteries Ni/Cd, les batteries Ni/MH et les batteries sodium utilisées dans les véhicules électriques routiers. Cette première édition annule et remplace la CEI 61982-1:2006, la CEI 61982-2:2002 et la CEI 61982-3:2001. Elle constitue une révision technique.

Sekundarne baterije (z izjemo litijevih) za pogon električnih cestnih vozil - 1. del: Lastnosti in trajnostni preskusi

Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za lastnosti in trajnostne preskuse za sekundarne baterije, ki se uporabljajo za pogon vozil. Cilj tega standarda je določitev osnovnih značilnosti celic, baterij, blokov, modulov in baterijskih sistemov, ki se uporabljajo za pogon električnih cestnih vozil, vključno s hibridnimi električnimi vozili, skupaj z ustreznimi preskusnimi metodami za specifikacije. Preskusi se lahko uporabijo zlasti za preskušanje baterij, ki so razvite za uporabo v vozilih, kot so vozila za potnike, motorji, komercialna vozila idr. Ta standard se ne uporablja za baterijske sisteme za specializirana vozila, kot so vozila za javni prevoz, vozila za zbiranje odpadkov ali težka tovorna vozila, kjer se baterija uporablja na podoben način kot pri industrijskih vozilih. Preskusni postopki so opredeljeni kot funkcija zahtev za zmogljivost vozila. Ta standard se uporablja za svinčeve kislinske baterije, baterije Ni/Cd, Ni/MH in natrijske baterije, ki se uporabljajo v električnih cestnih vozilih. Dodatek A določa preskusne postopke zmogljivosti in življenjske dobe baterij Ni/MH, ki se uporabljajo za pogon hibridnih električnih vozil (HEV).
