12 V lithium-ion secondary batteries for automotive starting, lighting, ignition (SLI) applications and auxiliary purposes - Part 1: General requirements and methods of test (IEC 63118-1:2024); German version EN IEC 63118-1:2024
12-Volt-Lithium-Ionen-Sekundärbatterien für Anwendungen und Hilfsanwendungen von Fahrzeug-SLI-Batterien - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren (IEC 63118-1:2024); Deutsche Fassung EN IEC 63118-1:2024
Overview
This part of IEC 63118 specifies the general tests and requirements for the performance of lithium secondary batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V permanently installed in road vehicles not for propulsion. The replacement of secondary batteries permanently installed in road vehicles not for propulsion is covered by this document. This document includes electrical characteristics tests methods and requirements and a life duration tests method. Batteries primarily used to power electric vehicles (EV), including battery electric vehicles (BEV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), are not covered in this document. This document also does not include dimensions, system communication protocols, or safety aspects. The safety aspects of batteries are covered in IEC 63057. The following are typical applications that utilize the batteries under the scope of this document: power source for the starting of internal combustion engines, lighting, stop and start function, on-board auxiliary equipment and energy absorption for regeneration from braking.
