CAN/CSA-C22.2 NO. 60896-22:17:2017 Edition

Perface

This is the first edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60896-22, Stationary lead-acid batteries – Part 22: Valve regulated types – Requirements, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 60896-22 (first edition, 2004-02). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code.

For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60896-22 throughout.

This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60896-21:17, Stationary lead-acid batteries – Part 21: Valve regulated types – Methods of test (adopted IEC 60896-21:2004, with Canadian deviations).

Scope

This part of IEC 60896 applies to all stationary lead-acid cells and monobloc batteries of the valve regulated type for float charge applications, (i.e. permanently connected to a load and to a d.c. power supply), in a static location (i.e. not generally intended to be moved from place to place) and incorporated into stationary equipment or installed in battery rooms for use in telecom, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), utility switching, emergency power or similar applications.

The objective of this part of IEC 60896 is to assist the specifier in the understanding of the purpose of each test contained within IEC 60896-21 and provide guidance on a suitable requirement that will result in the battery meeting the needs of a particular industry application and operational condition. This Standard is used in conjunction with the common test methods described in IEC 60896-21 and is associated with all types and construction of valve regulated stationary lead-acid cells and monoblocs used in standby power applications.

This part of IEC 60896 does not apply to lead-acid cells and batteries used for vehicle engine starting applications (IEC 60095 series), solar photovoltaic applications (IEC 61427), or general purpose applications (IEC 61056 series).
