Title (German)

Blei-Akkumulatoren-Starterbatterien - Teil 5: Eigenschaften der Batteriekästen und -griffe; Deutsche Fassung EN 50342-5:2010

Overview

This standard covers multicell battery housings produced of polypropylene as the preferred material for batteries for cranking combustion engines, for lighting and for additional equipment used in road vehicles. These batteries are all referred to as starter batteries. The purpose of this standard is to describe the properties of battery housings for its use in combustion vehicles by means of uniform examination procedures and by defining the requirements for the raw material and the complete part. The test procedure and requirements for the complete housing are described in the main part. Test procedures for the raw material are determined in Annex A. Annex B recommends possible test procedures for the material properties taken out of the complete housings, without being normative. Depending on the respective requirements, the examinations are carried out on standard specimens made of raw materials, single housings, welded battery housings or even complete batteries. The responsible committee is K 371 "Akkumulatoren" ("Secondary cells and batteries") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
