IEC 60086-2-2:2026 is applicable to primary batteries which are based on standardised lithium (non-aqueous) electrochemical systems.
It specifies:
– the physical dimensions,
– the discharge test conditions and discharge performance requirements.
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 batteries with aqueous electrolyte into a separate Part 2-1: Physical and electrical specifications;
b) maximum open circuit voltage of FR10G445 and FR14505 was changed from 1,83 to 1,90 V;
c) load of digital audio test for FR10G445 was changed from 50 mA to 75 mA and MAD was modified;
d) portable lighting test was added for FR10G445;
e) motor/toy and radio /clock /remote control test was added for FR14505;
f) in Clause 3, terms were reordered according their functions: electrochemical systems, electrochemical systems, electrical characteristics and specifications;
g) Annex D for common designation of IEC 60086 2:2021 was moved to IEC 60086 1:2026, as Annex H;
h) Annex E for Compliance checklist of IEC 60086 2:2021 was removed and merged into Annex J of IEC 60086 1:2026.
NOTE: If the word "harmonized" (marked in green) is not found in the field with the name of the directive, it means that the European standard is not cited in the OJEU.
