What is the marking method for rechargeable batteries according to IEC?

Tuesday, November 7, 2023

Queneng gets exceptional performance and lasting power; according to IEC standard, the marking of a NiMH battery consists of 5 parts.

According to IEC standard, the marking of a NiMH battery consists of 5 parts.

 

(01) Battery type: HF, HR for nickel-metal hydride batteries

(02) Battery size information: including the diameter and height of the round battery and the height, width and thickness of the square battery; the values are separated by a slash; the unit: mm.

(03) Discharge characteristic symbols: L indicates that the suitable discharge current rate is within 0.5C.

M indicates that the suitable discharge current rate is within 0.5-3.5C.

H indicates that the suitable discharge current multiplier is within 3.5-7.0C.

X means the battery can work under a 7C–15C high rate of discharge current.

(04) High temperature battery symbol: T

(05) Battery connecting tabs: CF means no connecting tabs, HH means connecting tabs for battery pulling series connecting tabs, and HB means connecting tabs for battery with side-by-side series connecting tabs.

For example, HF18/07/49 means square nickel-metal hydride battery; width is 18 mm, thickness is 7 mm, and height is 49 mm.

KRMT33/62HH means nickel-cadmium battery, discharge rate between 0.5C-3.5, high-temperature series single cell (without connecting piece), diameter 33mm, height 62mm.

 

According to the IEC61960 standard, the marking of a secondary lithium battery is as follows:

01) Battery marking composition: 3 letters, followed by 5 numbers (cylindrical) or 6 (square) numbers.

02) The first letter indicates the negative electrode material of the battery. i indicates that there is a built-in battery of lithium ion; L indicates lithium metal electrode or lithium alloy electrode.

03) The second letter indicates the positive electrode material of the battery. c: cobalt-based electrode; n: nickel-based electrode; m: manganese-based electrode; v: vanadium-based electrode.

04) Third letter: indicates the shape of the battery. r- indicates cylindrical battery; L- indicates square battery.

05) Numbers: Cylindrical cell: 5 numbers indicate the diameter and height of the cell, respectively. The diameter is in millimeters and the height is in tenths of a millimeter. When either the diameter or height is greater than or equal to 100mm, a slash should be added between the two dimensions.

Square Cells: The six numbers indicate the thickness, width and height of the cell in millimeters. Any one of the three dimensions is greater than or equal to 100mm; the size of the line should be added between the three dimensions; if any of the three dimensions is less than 1mm, then add the letter "t" in front of the size of this size, the size of the unit of one-tenth of a millimeter.

 

For example, ICR18650 means a cylindrical secondary lithium-ion battery with cobalt cathode material; its diameter is about 18 mm and its height is about 65 mm.

ICR20/1050.

ICP083448 denotes a square secondary lithium-ion battery with a cobalt cathode, a thickness of approximately 8 mm, a width of approximately 34mm and a height of approximately 48 mm.

ICP08/34/150 represents a square secondary lithium-ion battery with a cobalt cathode material with a thickness of approximately 8mm, a width of approximately 34mm and a height of approximately 150mm.

ICPt73448 represents a square secondary lithium-ion battery with a cobalt cathode material with a thickness of approximately 0.7mm, a width of approximately 34mm and a height of approximately 48mm.

Battery fundamentals and basic terms
What do you mean by battery?
Battery is a device for energy conversion and storage, which converts chemical or physical energy into electrical energy through a reaction. Batteries can be categorized into chemical batteries and physical batteries according to the different types of energy they convert. A chemical battery or chemical power supply is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It consists of two electrochemically active electrodes of different compositions forming the positive and negative electrodes, respectively, and a chemical substance that provides media conduction as the electrolyte, which when attached to some external carrier provides electrical energy by converting its internal chemical energy. A physical battery is a device that converts physical energy into electrical energy.
Public Gardens and Landscape Lighting
Can solar lights be customized for specific landscaping needs?

Yes, we offer customizable solar lighting solutions to meet the unique needs of different landscaping projects. From adjusting the brightness to selecting the appropriate lighting style and design, we can tailor our products to fit your vision.

Battery Performance and Testing
What is the internal resistance in charging state and what is the difference between internal resistance in discharging state?
The internal resistance in the charging state refers to the internal resistance of the battery when it is 100% fully charged; the internal resistance in the discharge state refers to the internal resistance of the battery after it is fully discharged. Generally speaking, the internal resistance in the discharge state is unstable and relatively large, while the internal resistance in the charging state is small and the resistance value is relatively stable. During the use of the battery, only the internal resistance in the charged state has practical significance. In the later stages of battery use, due to the depletion of the electrolyte and the reduction in the activity of internal chemical substances, the internal resistance of the battery will increase to varying degrees.
Solar Street Light Luhua
Can Luhua solar street lights work in areas with limited sunlight?

Yes, Luhua solar street lights are designed to perform well in areas with limited sunlight. The high-efficiency solar panels can still generate enough energy even in cloudy or rainy weather. The system is equipped with batteries that store excess energy during the day, ensuring the lights operate throughout the night, regardless of weather conditions.

Batteries and the environment
What effect does ambient temperature have on battery performance?
Among all environmental factors, temperature has the greatest impact on the charge and discharge performance of the battery. The electrochemical reaction at the electrode/electrolyte interface is related to the ambient temperature. The electrode/electrolyte interface is regarded as the heart of the battery. If the temperature drops, the reaction rate of the electrode also drops. Assuming the battery voltage remains constant and the discharge current decreases, the battery's power output will also decrease. If the temperature rises the opposite is true, i.e. the battery output will rise. Temperature also affects the electrolyte transfer rate. As the temperature rises, the transmission speeds up, and as the temperature drops, the transmission slows down, and the battery's charge and discharge performance will also be affected. However, if the temperature is too high, exceeding 45°C, it will destroy the chemical balance in the battery and cause side reactions.
