What is PD IEC/TR 62660-4 – Secondary lithium-ion cells about?
PD IEC/TR 62660-4 is an international standard that discusses the test methods for the internal short circuit test for secondary lithium-ion cells for the propulsion of electric road vehicles. Lithium-ion cells use either carbon or graphite as the anode and the cathode uses one of the following three: lithium cobalt oxide, lithium iron phosphate, or lithium manganese oxide.
PD IEC/TR 62660-4 provides the test data on the candidate alternative test methods for the internal short circuit test. The internal short circuit test in PD IEC/TR 62660-4 is intended to simulate an internal short circuit of a cell caused by the contamination of conductive particles, and to verify the safety performance of the cell under such conditions.
PD IEC/TR 62660-4 is applicable to the secondary lithium-ion cells and cell blocks used for propulsion of electric vehicles (EV) including battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).
