12 V LITHIUM-ION SECONDARY BATTERIES FOR
AUTOMOTIVE STARTING, LIGHTING, IGNITION (SLI)
APPLICATIONS AND AUXILIARY PURPOSES –
Part 1: General requirements and methods of test
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of 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, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). 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. 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 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 IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

chamber where the ambient temperature is adjusted to 55 °C ± 2 °C.
Step 3 – The battery shall be connected to a device where it undergoes the continuous series
of cycles, each cycle consisting of:
• charge period: 13 days in charge at maximum charge current and maximum charge voltage
specified by the battery manufacturer;
• rest period: 13 days in open circuit conditions.
These charge and rest periods at 55 °C ± 2 °C represent one unit.
The check-up sequence is performed before the first unit and after each unit.
The test shall be performed until eight units are completed.
6.7.2.3 Check-up sequence
6.7.2.3.1 General

The battery shall be fully charged in accordance with 6.2.
The battery shall be stored at an ambient temperature of 25 °C ± 2 °C, for not less than 1 h and
not more than 24 h. The stored time should be set to stabilize the battery temperature.
The battery shall then be discharged at the same ambient temperature at 1,0 I A to the final
t
voltage specified by the battery manufacturer. The capacity is recorded.
6.7.2.3.3 Discharge performance measurement at low temperature
The battery shall be fully charged in accordance with 6.2.
After a 1 h rest period at 25 °C, the battery is discharged using a current of 1,0 I A during
t
30 min.
The battery shall be stored at a temperature of −18 °C ± 1 °C, for not less than 16 h and not
more than 24 h.

The battery shall then be discharged, with the nominal cranking current of I A at an ambient
cc
temperature of −18 °C ± 1 °C.
The terminal voltage U after a 1 s discharge and U before discharge shall be recorded and
f1s f0s
compared.
The battery shall be stored at a temperature of 25 °C, for not less than 16 h and not more than
24 h.
The battery shall be fully charged in accordance with 6.2.
And then a new unit is launched.
6.7.2.3.4 Acceptance criteria
The passing criteria shall be based on the agreement between the battery manufacturer and
the customer.
7 Type test conditions
7.1 General
The type test conditions and protocol should be agreed between the battery manufacturer and
the customer. When this is not the case, the type test conditions of 7.2 shall apply.
7.2 Test items
Tests are made with the number of batteries specified in Table 1, using batteries that are stored
under the conditions specified by the manufacturer and that are not more than six months old.
The tests are carried out at an ambient temperature of 25 °C ± 5 °C, unless otherwise specified.
NOTE The test conditions are for type tests only. The limit of six months is introduced for consistency and does not
imply that the battery performance is reduced after six months.

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation composée
de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l’IEC). L’IEC a pour objet de
favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines de
l'électricité et de l'électronique. À cet effet, l’IEC – entre autres activités – publie des Normes internationales,
des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au public (PAS) et des
Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l’IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des comités d'études, aux
travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les organisations
internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’IEC, participent également aux
travaux. L’IEC collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO), selon des
conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de l’IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure du
possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de l’IEC intéressés
sont représentés dans chaque comité d’études.
3) Les Publications de l’IEC se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales et sont agréées
comme telles par les Comités nationaux de l’IEC. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que l’IEC
s'assure de l'exactitude du contenu technique de ses publications; l’IEC ne peut pas être tenue responsable de
l'éventuelle mauvaise utilisation ou interprétation qui en est faite par un quelconque utilisateur final.
4) Dans le but d'encourager l'uniformité internationale, les Comités nationaux de l’IEC s'engagent, dans toute la
mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de l’IEC dans leurs publications nationales
et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de l’IEC et toutes publications nationales ou
régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) L’IEC elle-même ne fournit aucune attestation de conformité. Des organismes de certification indépendants
fournissent des services d'évaluation de conformité et, dans certains secteurs, accèdent aux marques de
conformité de l’IEC. L’IEC n'est responsable d'au
