UNE-EN IEC 61960-4:2020

This part of IEC 61960 specifies performance tests, designations, markings, dimensions and other requirements for coin secondary lithium cells and batteries for portable applications and backup power supply such as memory backup applications.The objective of this standard is to provide the purchasers and users of coin secondary lithium cells and batteries with a set of criteria with which they can judge the performance of coin secondary lithium cells and batteries offered by various manufacturers.This document defines a minimum required level of performance and a standardized methodology by which testing is performed and the results of this testing reported to the user. Hence, users will be able to establish the viability of commercially available cells and batteries via the declared specification and thus be able to select the cell or battery best suited for their intended application.This standard covers coin secondary lithium cells and batteries with a range of chemistries. Each electrochemical couple has a characteristic voltage range over which it releases its electrical capacity, a characteristic nominal voltage and a characteristic end-of-discharge voltage during discharge. Users of coin secondary lithium cells and batteries are requested to consult the manufacturer for advice.
