Railway applications - Batteries for auxiliary power supply systems
This European Standard specifies rechargeable lead acid and NiCd-batteries for 110 V voltage auxiliary power supply system for railway vehicles. This European Standard may be applied to other rolling stock types (e.g. light rail vehicles, tramways, metros…) if these are not in the scope of another specific standard. Others technologies like NiMh or Lithium are not covered by this standard at present. This European Standard focuses on:
- the description of mechanical interfaces: dimensions of the cells or monobloc batteries, main terminals and preferred sizes of the mounting space of the battery systems for lead acid batteries,
- the description of mechanical interfaces: dimensions of the trays and main terminals for NiCd batteries (as they have different characteristics depending on the technology),
- description of electrical interfaces: capacity, voltage and charging characteristic. This European Standard restricts the variety of different types provided by EN 60254 and EN 60896 for lead
acid batteries and defines the use of cells compliant to EN 60623 and EN 62259 for NiCd-Batteries. The main objective of this standard is to achieve interchangeability of the battery cells and monobloc for lead acid batteries and the interchangeability of the battery trays for NiCd batteries.

Applications ferroviaires - batteries pour systèmes d’alimentation auxiliaire
La présente Norme Européenne spécifie les batteries rechargeables d'accumulateurs au plomb et les batteries rechargeables au Ni-Cd du système auxiliaire d'alimentation 110 V des véhicules ferroviaires. La présente norme peut s'appliquer à d'autres types de matériel roulant (par exemple, véhicules ferroviaires légers, tramways, métros, etc.) s'ils n'entrent pas dans le domaine d'application d'une autre norme spécifique. A ce jour, la présente norme ne couvre pas les autres technologies telles que le NiMH et le Lithium. La norme se concentre sur: - la description des interfaces mécaniques: dimensions des éléments ou des batteries monoblocs, des bornes principales et encombrement de montage préférentiel des systèmes de batteries d'accumulateurs au plomb, - la description des interfaces mécaniques: dimensions des caisses de groupement et des bornes principales des batteries au Ni-Cd (car leurs caractéristiques diffèrent selon leur technologie), - la description des interfaces électriques: caractéristiques de capacité, de tension et de chargement. La présente norme limite la variété des différents types de batteries d'accumulateurs au plomb compris dans les normes EN 60254 et EN 60896 et définit l'utilisation des éléments conformes aux normes EN 60623 et EN 62259 pour les batteries au Ni-Cd. L'objectif principal de la présente norme est de parvenir à l'interchangeabilité des éléments et des monoblocs des batteries d'accumulateurs au plomb, ainsi qu'à l'interchangeabilité des caisses de groupement de batteries au Ni-Cd.
Železniške naprave - Baterije za pomožne močnostne napajalne sisteme
Ta evropski standard določa polnilno svinčeno in nikelj-kadmijevo baterijo (akumulator) za 110-voltni pomožni močnostni napajalni sistem za železniška vozila. Ta evropski standard se lahko uporablja za druge vrste železniških vozil (npr. lahka železniška vozila, tramvaje, metroje itd.), če niso obravnavani v katerem drugem specifičnem standardu. Ta standard zaenkrat ne obravnava drugih tehnologij, kot sta nikljeva kovinsko-hidridna (NiMh) ali litijeva baterija. Osrednji cilj tega evropskega standarda je:
– opis mehanskih vmesnikov: mere celičnih baterij ali baterij monoblok, glavni priključki in preferenčne velikosti mest namestitve baterijskih sistemov za svinčene baterije,
– opis mehanskih vmesnikov: mere ležišč in glavnih priključkov nikelj-kadmijevih baterij (ker se njihove lastnosti razlikujejo glede na tehnologijo),
– opis električnih vmesnikov: lastnosti glede zmogljivosti, napetosti in napajanja. Ta evropski standard omejuje raznovrstnost tipov iz standardov EN 60254 in EN 60896 za svinčene
baterije in določa uporabo celic v skladu s standardoma EN 60623 in EN 62259 za nikelj-kadmijeve baterije. Glavni cilj tega standarda je doseči zamenljivost baterijskih celic in monobloka pri svinčenih baterijah ter zamenljivost ležišč baterij za nikelj-kadmijeve baterije.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies rechargeable lead acid and NiCd-batteries for 110 V voltage auxiliary
power supply system for railway vehicles.
This European Standard may be applied to other rolling stock types (e.g. light rail vehicles, tramways,
metros…) if these are not in the scope of another specific standard.
Others technologies like NiMh or Lithium are not covered by this standard at present.
This European Standard focuses on:
- the description of mechanical interfaces: dimensions of the cells or monobloc batteries, main terminals
and preferred sizes of the mounting space of the battery systems for lead acid batteries,
- the description of mechanical interfaces: dimensions of the trays and main terminals for NiCd batteries
(as they have different characteristics depending on the technology),
- description of electrical interfaces: capacity, voltage and charging characteristic.
This European Standard restricts the variety of different types provided by EN 60254 and EN 60896 for lead
acid batteries and defines the use of cells compliant to EN 60623 and EN 62259 for NiCd-Batteries.
The main objective of this standard is to achieve interchangeability of the battery cells and monobloc for lead
acid batteries and the interchangeability of the battery trays for NiCd batteries.
