given electrochemical system It is a unique voltage in that it is independent of both the size and the internal construction of the battery It only depends on its charge-transfer reaction The standard discharge voltage Us is defined by Equation (D.1 ) U Cs s = t × Rs s (D.1 ) where Us is the standard discharge voltage; Cs is the standard discharge capacity; ts is the standard discharge time; Rs is the standard discharge resistor D D e te rm i n ati o n D G e n e l co n s i d e ti o n s : th e C/R -p l o t The determination of the discharge voltage Ud is accomplished via a C/R -plot (where C is the discharge capacity of a battery; R is the discharge resistance) For illustration, see Figure D.1 , which shows a schematic plot of discharge capacity C versus discharge resistor R d in normalized presentation, i.e C( R d )/Cp is plotted as a function of R d For low R d -values, low C( R d )-values are obtained and vice versa On the gradual increase of R d , discharge capacity C( R d ) also increases until finally a plateau is established and C( R d ) becomes constant : p = constant C (D.2) which means C( R d )/Cp = as indicated by the horizontal line in Figure D.1 It further shows that capacity C = f( R d ) is dependent on the cut-off voltage Uc : the higher its value, the larger is fraction ∆ C that cannot be realised during discharge NOTE Under plateau conditions, capacity C is independent of R d The discharge voltage Ud is determined by Equation (D.3) U _ Cd d = t × Rd d (D.3) Subscript d differentiates this resistance from R s ; see Equation (D.1 ) For very long periods of discharge time Cp may decrease due to the battery’s internal self-discharge This may be noticeable for batteries having a high self-discharge, for example % per month or above International Electrotechnical Commission IEC 60086-1 :201 © IEC 201 C(R)/Cp – 38 – ,0 0,98 C(R) = Cp = constant 98 % C = ƒ( R d ) Capacity plateau: d C/d R = 0,5 Cut-off voltage: Uc = constant Uc = V ∆C Rd (0,5)

resistor R d for a given cut-off voltage Uc = constant This relation may be written as: Cd = i(avg) × td (D.4) For R d = R s (standard discharge resistor) Equation (D.3) changes to the Equation (D.1 ), and consequently Equation (D.4) changes to: Cs = i(avg) × ts (D.5) The determination of i(avg) and ts is accomplished according to the method described in D.2.3 and illustrated by Figure D.2 D 2 D

time to perform this discharge may be of long duration To reduce this time, a good approximation for Us is achieved by Equation (D.6) Cs ( R s ) = 0,98 Cp (D.6) This means that 98 % capacity realization is considered to be of sufficient accuracy for the determination of the standard discharge voltage Us This is achieved when discharging the battery through the standard discharge resistor R s Its factor 0,98 or above is not decisive, because Us remains practically constant for R s ≤ R d Under this condition, the exact realization of a 98 % capacity realization is not crucial

this code is to describe these good practices in general terms It takes the form of advice to battery manufacturers, distributors and users G.2 P a cka g i n g The packaging shall be adequate to avoid mechanical damage during transport, handling and stacking The materials and pack design shall be chosen so as to prevent the development of unintentional electrical conduction, corrosion of the terminals and ingress of moisture G.3 Tra n s p o rt a n d h a n d l i n g Shock and vibration shall be kept to a minimum For instance, boxes should not be thrown off trucks, slammed into position or piled so high as to overload battery containers below Protection from inclement weather should be provided G.4 S t o g e a n d s t o c k ro t a t i o n The storage area should be clean, cool, dry, ventilated and weatherproof For normal storage, the temperature should be between + °C and + 25 °C and never exceed °C Extremes of humidity (over 95 % RH and below 40 % RH) for sustained periods should be avoided since they are detrimental to both batteries and packaging Batteries should therefore not be stored next to radiators or boilers, nor in direct sunlight + 30 Although the storage life of batteries at room temperature is good, storage is improved at lower temperatures (e.g in cold rooms –1 °C to + °C or in deep-freeze conditions below –1 °C), providing special precautions are taken The batteries shall be enclosed in special protective packaging (such as sealed plastic bags or variants) which should be retained to protect them from condensation during the time they are warming to ambient temperature Accelerated warming is detrimental Batteries which have been cold-stored should be put into use as soon as possible after return to ambient temperature Batteries may be stored, fitted in equipment or packages if determined suitable by the battery manufacturer The height to which batteries may be stacked is clearly dependent on the strength of the pack As a general guide, this height should not exceed ,5 m for cardboard packs or m for wooden cases International Electrotechnical Commission – Th e a b o ve Th u s, re c o m m e n d a t i o n s b a tt e ri e s u n
