Overview
This standard contains the physical dimensions, the discharge test conditions and discharge performance requirements for primary cells and batteries; these are non-chargeable dry cell batteries which are primarily used by end customers for portable, battery-powered electrical small appliances. DIN EN 60086-2 complements the general information and requirements of DIN EN 60086-1. This part was prepared to benefit primary battery users, device designers and battery manufacturers by furnishing the specifics of form, fit and function for individual standardized primary cells and batteries. This part has been amended over the years to improve its content and may be revised again in due course as a result of comments from national committees and experts; the comments are based on practical experience and changes in technology. Safety information is now available in DIN EN 60086-4, DIN EN 60086-5 and DIN EN 62281. The responsible committee is DKE/K 372 "Primärbatterien" ("Primary batteries") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
