Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes - Safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, and for batteries made from them, for use in portable applications - Part 1: Nickel systems (IEC 62133-1:2017); German version EN 62133-1:2017
Sekundärzellen und -batterien mit alkalischen oder anderen nicht säurehaltigen Elektrolyten - Sicherheitsanforderungen für tragbare gasdichte Sekundärzellen und daraus hergestellte Batterien für die Verwendung in tragbaren Geräten - Teil 1: Nickel-Systeme (IEC 62133-1:2017); Deutsche Fassung EN 62133-1:2017
Overview
This part of IEC 62133 specifies requirements and tests for the safe operation of gas-tight secondary cells and batteries with alkaline electrolytes when used as intended and in reasonably foreseeable misuse, which are used in portable devices (for example, cell phones, laptops). It contains requirements and tests for safe operation. In contrast to the previous editions, this Part 1 deals exclusively with batteries with a nickel-based electrochemical system. Specifications for lithium-based systems are included in Part 2. The responsible committee is DKE/K 371 "Akkumulatoren" ("Accumulators") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
