Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes - Nickel-cadmium prismatic rechargeable cells with partial gas recombination and batteries for use in industrial applications prEN IEC 62259:2026/prAA

Scope

This document specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for vented
nickel-cadmium prismatic secondary single cells and battery systems made of them where
special provisions have been made in order to have partial or, under very specific conditions,
full gas recombination for use in industrial applications.
NOTE In this context, "prismatic" refers to cells having rectangular sides and base.
When there exists an IEC standard specifying test conditions and requirements for cells used
in special applications and which is in conflict with this document, the former takes precedence.
