Primary batteries - Part 2-1: Physical and electrical specifications of batteries with aqueous electrolyte
OVERVIEW
IEC 60086-2-1:2026 is applicable to primary batteries which are based on standardised electrochemical systems using aqueous electrolytes.
It specifies:
- the physical dimensions,
- the discharge test conditions and discharge performance requirements.
IEC 60086-2-1: 2026 cancels and replaces the fourteenth edition of IEC 60086 2 published in 2021. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
