Abstract

This document specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for vented nickel-cadmium prismatic secondary single cells and battery systems made of them where special provisions have been made in order to have partial or, under very specific conditions, full gas recombination. 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 document, the former shall take precedence.
