IEC 62660-2:2018 RLV
Redline version
Secondary lithium-ion cells for the propulsion of electric road vehicles - Part 2: Reliability and abuse testing
Abstract
IEC 62660-2:2018 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition.
IEC 62660-2:2018 specifies test procedures to observe the reliability and abuse behaviour of secondary lithium-ion cells and cell blocks used for propulsion of electric vehicles including battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). This document specifies the standard test procedures and conditions for basic characteristics of lithium-ion cells for use in propulsion of battery and hybrid electric vehicles. The tests are indispensable for obtaining essential data on reliability and abuse behaviour of lithium-ion cells for use in various designs of battery systems and battery packs. This document provides standard classification of description of test results to be used for the design of battery systems or battery packs. IEC 62660-2:2018 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The procedure of forced discharge test has been clarified (6.4.3.2).
b) "Cell block" has been added to the scope (Clause 1).
c) Option of temperature cycling test with electrical operation has been deleted (6.3.2).
d) The test conditions for overcharge test have been revised (6.4.2.2).
