Lead-acid starter batteries - Part 5: Mechanical properties of battery housings and handles; German and English version prEN 50342-5:2024
Abstract
This document is applicable to housing and accessory parts of lead-acid batteries made of polypropylene. Lead-acid batteries are used primarily as a power source for the starting of internal combustion engines, lighting and for auxiliary equipment of road vehicles. These batteries are all referred to as starter batteries. This document is applicable to starter batteries for passenger cars and for commercial or industrial vehicles. Battery housing and accessory parts according to this document do not provide any protection of the polypropylene against aging due to light. The parts are intended to be used within the engine compartment or within battery boxes where they are protected from light. The purpose of this document is to define requirements for raw material used to produce housing and accessory parts for starter batteries, to define requirements of the physical properties of battery housing and to define uniform test procedures for validation.
