DIN EN 60086-2:2012-01

This standard contains the physical dimensions, the discharge test conditions and discharge performance requirements for primary cells and batteries; these are non-chargeable dry cell batteries which are primarily used by end customers for portable, battery-powered electrical small appliances. DIN EN 60086-2 complements the general information and requirements of DIN EN 60086-1. This part was prepared to benefit primary battery users, device designers and battery manufacturers by furnishing the specifics of form, fit and function for individual standardized primary cells and batteries. Over the years, this part has been changed to improve its contents and may again be revised in due course in the light of comments made by national committees and experts on the basis of practical experience and changing technology. This part is applicable to primary batteries based on standardized electrochemical systems. It specifies - the physical dimensions, - the discharge test conditions and discharge performance requirements. Safety information is now available in DIN EN 60086-4, DIN EN 60086-5 and DIN EN 62281. The responsible committee is K 372 "Primärbatterien" ("Primary batteries") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
