PD IEC/TR 62660-4:2017

This standard PD IEC/TR 62660-4:2017 Secondary lithium-ion cells for the propulsion of electric road vehicles is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.220.20 Acid secondary cells and batteries

This Part of IEC 62660 provides the test data on the candidate alternative test methods for the internal short circuit test according to 6.4.4.2.2 of IEC 62660-3:2016. The internal short circuit test in this document is intended to simulate an internal short circuit of a cell caused by the contamination of conductive particle, and to verify the safety performance of the cell under such conditions.

This document is applicable to the secondary lithium-ion cells and cell blocks used for propulsion of electric vehicles (EV) including battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).

NOTE This document does not cover cylindrical cells.
