Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes - Sealed nickel-metal hydride prismatic rechargeable single cells for industrial applications (IEC 62675:2014)

This International Standard specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and
requirements for sealed nickel-metal hydride prismatic secondary single cells.
NOTE In this context, "prismatic" refers to cells having rectangular sides and base.
When there exists an IEC standard specifying test conditions and requirements for cells used
in special applications and which is in conflict with this standard, the former takes precedence.

L'IEC 62675:2014 spécifie le marquage, la désignation, les dimensions, les essais et les exigences applicables aux éléments individuels parallélépipédiques étanches au nickel-métal hydrure.

Sekundarni členi in baterije z alkalnimi ali drugimi nekislinskimi elektroliti - Zatesnjeni nikelj-kovinski hidridni prizmatični ponovno polnljivi enojni členi za industrijsko uporabo (IEC 62675:2014)

Ta mednarodni standard določa označevanje, poimenovanje, dimenzije, preskuse in zahteve za zatesnjene nikelj-kovinske hidridne prizmatične sekundarne enojne člene.
OPOMBA: V tem kontekstu se izraz »prizmatičen« nanaša na člene s pravokotnimi stranicami in osnovo.
Če obstaja standard IEC, ki določa preskusne pogoje in zahteve za člene za posebno uporabo ter je v nasprotju s tem standardom, ima prednost prvi.

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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62675 has been prepared by subcommittee 21A: Secondary cells
and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes, of IEC technical committee 21:
Secondary cells and batteries.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
21A/550/FDIS 21A/560/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 2.

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and
requirements for sealed nickel-metal hydride prismatic secondary single cells.
NOTE In this context, "prismatic" refers to cells having rectangular sides and base.
When there exists an IEC standard specifying test conditions and requirements for cells used
in special applications and which is in conflict with this standard, the former takes precedence.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and
are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
amendments) applies.
IEC 60050-482:2004, International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) – Part 482: Primary and
secondary cells and batteries
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in the IEC 60050-482, as
well as the following apply.
3.1
sealed cell
cell which remains closed and does not release either gas or liquid when operated within the
limits of charge and temperature specified by the manufacturer
Note 1 to entry: The cell is equipped with a safety device to prevent dangerously high internal pressure.
Note 2 to entry: The cell does not require addition to the electrolyte and is designed to operate during its life in its
original sealed state.
Note 3 to entry: The nickel-metal hydride cell, however, may release gas towards the end of its life due to the
accumulation of hydrogen in the cell.
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-482:2004, 482-05-17, modified – The existing note has been developed
into Notes 1, 2 and 3 to entry.]
3.2
nominal voltage
suitable approximate value of voltage used to designate or identify the voltage of a cell or
battery
Note 1 to entry: The nominal voltage of a sealed nickel-metal hydride rechargeable single cell: 1,2 V.
Note 2 to entry: The nominal voltage of a battery of n series connected cells is equal to n times the nominal
voltage of a single cell.

rated capacity
capacity value of a battery determined under specified conditions and declared by the
manufacturer
