6. Security Characteristics
6.1 User Drop Test
This test simulates the situation when a battery is accidentally dropped.
Test conditions: Undischarged test batteries shall be dropped from a height of 1 m onto a
concrete surface. Each test battery shall be dropped six times, twice in each of the
three axes. The test batteries shall be stored for 1 h afterwards.
Number of test sets: 5 batteries
Requirement: No fire, No explosion.
6.2 Short-circuit explosion-proof characteristics
This test simulates an external short circuit of a battery during daily handling of batteries.
Test conditions: Positive and negative terminals of an undischarged battery shall be connected
directly. The circuit shall be completed for 24 h or until the battery case temperature
has returned to ambient. The resistance of the inter-connecting circuitry shall not
exceed 0.1 Ω.
Number of test samples: 5 batteries
Requirement: No fire or explosion; Leakage is allowable.
6.3 Incorrect installation
This test simulates incorrect installation of a battery in a series application.
Test conditions: 4 undischarged batteries are used per test. 3 batteries are placed correctly
inseries; the 4
th
battery is reversed with respect to polarity. The circuit is
maintained until venting occurs or the reversed battery temperature has returned to
ambient.
Number of test sets: 5 (20 batteries)
Requirement: No fire or explosion; Leakage is allowable.
7. Expiry Date:
5 years
8. Expiry Date Marking:
8.1 Unless otherwise specified, each battery will carry a manufacturing date code followed by month and year of
manufacturing for domestic and manufacturing date code followed by month and year of expiry for export. (Shelf
life 5 years)
