Part 2: Physical and electrical specifications
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60086-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 35:
Primary cells and batteries.
This tenth edition cancels and replaces the ninth edition published in 1997 and its amendment 1
(1999) and constitutes a technical revision.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
35/1136/FDIS 35/1147/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Annexes A, B and C are for information only.

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged
until 2002. At this date, the publication will be
reconfirmed;
withdrawn;
replaced by a revised edition, or
amended.

INTRODUCTION
The technical content of this part of IEC 60086 provides physical dimensions, discharge test
conditions and discharge performance requirements. IEC 60086-2 complements the general
information and requirements of IEC 60086-1 through provision of specification sheets for
primary cells and batteries.
This part was prepared to benefit primary battery users, device designers and battery
manufacturers by furnishing the specifics of form, fit and function for individual standardized
primary cells and batteries. Over the years, this part has been changed to improve its
contents and may again be revised in due course in the light of comments made by National
Committees and experts on the basis of practical experience and changing technology. This
current revision is the result of a reformatting initiative, as well as some content changes,
aimed at making this part more user-friendly, less ambiguous, and, from a cross-reference
basis, fully harmonized with other parts of IEC 60086.
NOTE Safety information as been removed from IEC 60086-1, and is now available in IEC 60086-4 and
IEC 60086-5.
