passenger automobiles and light commercial vehicles with a nominal voltage of 12 V.
All batteries in accordance with this European Standard can be fastened to the vehicle either by means of
the ledges around the case or by means of a hold-down device engaging with the lid.

For the purpose of this document, the definitions of IEC 60050-482, International Electrotechnical
Vocabulary, are applicable.
4 General requirements
The following specifications are common to all vehicle batteries, not only for the batteries of this standard.
4.1 Marking
4.1.1 Safety labelling
The batteries shall bear the six coloured safety symbols in accordance with EN 50342-1.
4.1.2 Marking of the polarity of terminals
The batteries shall be marked with signs for both polarities that have to be positioned near to or on the top
face of the terminals.
4.1.2.1 Marking of positive terminals
This marking shall take the form of the symbol ‘+’ either on the upper surface of the positive terminal or on
the lid adjacent to the positive terminal.

SIST EN 50342-2:2008
EN 50342-2:2007 - 6 -
4.1.2.2 Marking of negative terminals
This marking shall take the form of the symbol "–" either on the upper surface of the negative terminal or on
the lid adjacent to the negative terminal.
4.1.2.3 Design and dimensions of marking of terminals
The symbols used for marking the terminals shall be in accordance with the IEC 60417, symbol 5005 a for
the positive and symbol 5006 a for the negative polarity.
Figure 1 – Marking of polarity
The polarity symbols may be either indented or embossed by (0,4 ± 0,1) mm.
4.2 Recycling
4.2.1 Recycling of lead
The batteries shall be marked with the recycling symbol and the EC-Symbol of a crossed through roll out
container, both in accordance with EN 61429.
4.2.2 Recycling of plastic material
The marking of plastic moulded parts has to be fixed in the tooling of the battery container e.g. on the bottom
or on one short wall side near the ledge.
For the polypropylene-polyethylene copolymer the marking > PP < or > PP/PE < in accordance with
EN ISO 1043-1 is the minimum requirement.
As supplementation is permissible
– the recycling symbol (ISO 7000-1135),
– the number 7 or 07 for PP/PE and
– the addition of “other" in case of additives to PP.
Figure 2 – Marking of polypropylene
The marking shall be achieved by moulding in relief. The recommended thickness is (0,3 ± 0,1) mm. The
height of the marking characters shall be between 5 mm and 7 mm.

4.3 Dimensions and design
All dimensions are in millimetres.
Details of the design that are not indicated in the generic drawings have to be chosen appropriately.
The illustrations in this standard, especially those of the design of the lid, handles, ribs, ledges, vent caps
and their locations are not mandatory.
5 Recommended types
The object of this clause is clearly to update the previous edition of this standard and to introduce an
updated version of LS and LBS models. Those updated versions LN and LBN are designed so that they may
replace the earlier models LS and LBS. Therefore, for new battery developments, only the recommended
series LN and LBN shall be used.
This clause specifies
– the main dimensions of starter batteries of the two preferred series LN and LBN;
– the location of the positive and negative terminals with respect to the fastening system;
– the dimensions of tapered terminals of starter batteries;
– the main dimensions and design of the ‘Semi Lid’ (SL);
– the top clamping area (M) for fastening on the upper part.
The preferred series LN replaces LS and series LBN replaces LBS of 6.1.
5.1 Recommended types LN and LBN
Starter batteries in accordance with this part of the standard are marked with LN and LBN (N = new).
Both battery series have the same width (L = large) but different height:
LN = standard height (H = 190 mm)
LBN = low height (H = 175 mm)
Of the two series, the model LN (large, standard height, new) shall be considered as the most preferred
series.
5.2 Main dimensions of batteries
The main dimensions of the batteries are represented by symbols as indicated on the drawings. These
schematic drawings do not represent any design details of the top of the battery.
The dimensions corresponding to the symbols below shall be in accordance with Figure 3, Figure 4,
Figure 5, Table 2 and Table 3.

H = Overall height including lid, plugs and terminals
h = Height of the upper surface M, supporting the hold-down device
a = Distance of the inside notches
4
a = Distance between terminal and the edges of the lid at the short side (see

5.3 Handles
5.3.1 General
Batteries with a weight less than or equal to 20 kg can be designed with or without handles. Batteries with a
weight of more than 20 kg must have handles.
5.3.2 Handles, if any
If the batteries have handles, the handles must be integrated in the lid (see Figure 3).
NOTE The handle design shown in all the pages of this standard is for information only. It is left to the battery manufacturer to propose
a design in accordance with this standard with respect to overall dimensions.
5.4 Standard fastening on the bottom
All batteries in accordance with this clause shall have ledges for fastening over the length of all sides as an
integral part of the battery container and allowing the battery to be fixed by means of the bottom of the
container.
5.4.1 Design of ledges
The profile of the ledges must be in accordance with Figure 6. The length of the ledges on the rear side of
the battery shall be reduced (see Figure 3); 20 mm from both ends compared to the one on the front side.
5.4.2 Notches
The hold-down clamps of the support shall match with the ledges and the notches to provide secure
fastening in either direction.
To allow a symmetrical rotation for fastening the opposite ledges contain a equal number of notches and to
secure correct positioning of the battery on the support the ledges shall have 5 notches on the long sides
and 3 notches on the short sides.
5.4.3 Arrangement and dimensions of ledges and notches
The shape and dimensions of ledges and notches shall be in accordance with Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5
and Figure 6 (details ‘X’, ‘Y’ and ‘Z’).
