20 - ZZ2 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THIS STANDARD AND IEC 896-1 (1987), (INCLUDING AMENDMENTS Nos 1 AND 2)

Specifies requirements for the construction and performance of vented lead-acid batteries intended for use in stationary applications. It specifies minimum safety and performance requirements and provides test methods. It is based on and reproduced from IEC 896-1:1987, including Amendment 1:1988 and Amendment 2:1990, with the addition of Australian Appendix ZZ.

This standard is applicable to lead-acid cells and batteries which are designed for service in fixed location (i.e. not habitually to be moved from place to place) and which are permanently connected to the load and to the d.c. power supply. Batteries operating in such applications are called "stationary batteries".Any type or construction of lead-acid battery may be used for stationary battery applications. This Part 1 of the standard is applicable to vented types only. A Part 2 will be prepared for valve-regulated types .
