Road vehicles - Rechargeable batteries with internal energy storage - Performance of alkali-Ion (Li-Ion, Na-Ion), Pb, NiMH and combined chemistries EV modules and batteries

This document describes the performance test procedures and calculation methods for alkali-ion (for example Li-ion, Na-ion), Pb, NiMH and combined chemistries EV battery systems, battery packs and battery modules. This document considers the most appropriate metric based on application for electrical performance between different models/products on the market. It specifies performance test procedures and calculation methods to obtain performance values for: - rated capacity (in Ah); - power (in W); - internal resistance (in ?); - energy round trip efficiency (in %); - expected lifetime (number of reference cycles). The tests in this document are relevant for EV battery systems, battery packs and battery modules intended for the following applications: - motor vehicles, including M, N and O categories referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council with traction battery; - L-category vehicles referred to in Article 2 of Regulation EU 168/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with traction battery of more than 25kg.
