IEC 60086-2-1 ED1

Primary batteries - Part 2-1: Physical and electrical specifications of batteries with aqueous electrolyte

Scope

This first edition cancels and replaces the fourteenth edition of IEC 60086 2 published in 2021. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

a) separation of lithium batteries into IEC 60086-2-2: Physical and electrical specifications;

b) in Clause 3, terms were reordered according their functions: electrochemical systems, electrochemical systems, electrical characteristics and specifications;

c) TR03 and TR6 were added in Category 1, Round batteries;

d) load of digital audio test for LR03, TR03 and R03 was changed from 50 mA to 75 mA and MAD was modified;

e) personal grooming test of LR6 was added instead of high drain application test;

f) high drain application test was added for TR6;

g) radio /clock /remote control test was added for R6S;

h) CD, digital audio, wireless gaming and accessories test was removed for LR6, R6P and R6S;

i) 4,5 V of common designation was added for 3LR12, 3R12P and 3R12S;

j) Annex D for common designation of IEC 60086 2:2021 was moved to IEC 60086 1:2026, as Annex H;

k) Annex E for Compliance checklist of IEC 60086 2:2021 was removed and merged into Annex J of IEC 60086 1:2026.

This part of IEC 60086 is applicable to primary batteries which are based on standardised electrochemical systems using aqueous electrolytes.

It specifies

– the physical dimensions,

– the discharge test conditions and discharge performance requirements.
