Lead-acid starter batteries - Part 4: Dimensions of batteries for heavy vehicles; German version EN 50342-4:2009
Blei-Akkumulatoren-Starterbatterien - Teil 4: Maße von Nutzkraftwagen-Batterien; Deutsche Fassung EN 50342-4:2009
Overview
This European Standard is applicable to lead-acid batteries used for heavy vehicles. For new and future developments of the aforementioned applications it is strongly recommended that only batteries from the "Preferred Types" series are used. Batteries of the series of "Other Types" exist under several national standards. They have been transferred from the previous standard EN 60096-4. The preferred types A, B and C are newly introduced and correspond closely to the types D4, D5 and D6 with some differences in tolerances and dimensions. The responsible Committee is K 371 "Akkumulatoren" ("Accumulators") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
