What is ISO 19453‑6 about?
ISO 19453‑6 is the sixth part of the ISO 19453 series of documents. ISO 19453‑6 specifies requirements for lithium-ion traction battery packs or systems used in battery electric, hybrid electric, and fuel cell electric road vehicles.
ISO 19453‑6 describes the most relevant environmental stresses and specifies tests and test boundary conditions and establishes a classification of battery packs or systems and defines different stress levels for testing when a classification is applicable and required. The objective of ISO 19453‑6 is to specify standard test procedures and conditions to enable the observation of the reliability of the lithium-ion traction battery in the vehicle.
ISO 19453‑6 specifies tests for a battery pack or system of voltage class A and B and provides the necessary information to set up a dedicated test plan for a battery pack or system subject to agreement between the customer and supplier.
NOTE: ISO 19453‑6 covers requirements and test conditions for a traction battery pack or system used in passenger cars.
Who is ISO 19453‑6 for?
ISO 19453‑6 on the traction battery pack is useful for:
- Road vehicle engineers
- Mechanical engineers
- Electric vehicle engineers
- Manufacturers of vehicle batteries
- Manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment
Why should you use ISO 19453‑6?
A traction battery is a battery used to power the electric motors of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or hybrid electric vehicle that are usually rechargeable batteries and are typically lithium-ion batteries.
ISO 19453‑6 provides device under test (DUT) operating modes referring to battery pack or system used for electrically propelled road vehicles.
ISO 19453‑6 provides the electrical requirement checks that include electrical requirements, equipotential bonding, insulation resistance, and withstand voltage test as well as functional requirement checks including technical tightness check of the battery pack or system enclosure and leak tightness check of the internal temperature control system.
ISO 19453‑6 specifies the mechanical categories of battery packs or systems and thermal cycling tests to verify the reliability of the DUT with respect to changes in temperature.
Also gives the requirements on various tests performed such as dust protection test, humid heat, condensation test, damp heat, steady-state test, corrosion test, and chemical resistance test applied to components of the battery pack or system.
Overall, ISO 19453-6 could help you manufacture lithium-ion traction batteries by accepting environmental conditions, testing, and operating criteria to supply enough power to start a vehicle's engine and can be chargeable with little maintenance with a high-capacity battery.
