BS IEC 60095-2-2021 pdf free download – Lead-acid starter batteries Part 2: Dimensions of batteries and dimensions and marking of terminals.
This part of lEC 60095 is applicable to lead-acid batteries used for starting, lighting and ignitionof passenger cars and light vehicles with a nominal voltage of 12 V.
All batteries in accordance with this document can be fastened to the vehicle either by meansof the ledges around the container or by means of a hold-down device engaging with the lid.
This document specifies dimensions of battery for Europe,East Asia and North America.

4General requirements
4.1General
The specifications of Clause 4 are common to all starter batteries according to this document.4.2Marking
4.2.1Safety labelling
The batteries shall bear the six coloured safety symbols in accordance with 6.1.6 ofIEC 60095-1:2018.
4.2.2 Marking of the polarity of terminals4.2.2.1General
The batteries shall carry the marking of polarity, at least of the positive terminal.
4.2.2.2
Marking of positive terminals
This marking shall take the form of the symbol ” +” either on the upper surface of the positiveterminal or on the lid adjacent to the positive terminal.
4.2.2.3Marking of negative terminals
This marking shall take the form of the symbol “-” either on the upper surface of the negativeterminal or on the lid adjacent to the negative terminal.
4.2.2.4Design and dimensions of marking of terminals
The symbols used for marking the terminals shall be inaccordance withIEC 60417-5005:2012-10 for the positive and IEC 60417-5006:2012-10 for the negativepolarity.
The dimensions of the marking shall be according to Figure 1.
4.3Recycling
4.3.1 Recycling of lead
The batteries shall be marked with the symbols for recycling and separate collection accordingto lEC 60095-1.
4.3.2Recycling of plastic material
lnjection moulded battery components need to be marked according to ISO 11469 andISO 1043-1.The marking shall be placed on the bottom of the battery container or on one shortside near the ledge.
According to ISO 11469 and ISO 1043-1 the minimum marking for polypropylene-polyethylenecopolymer is >PP< or >PP/PE<.
In addition it is possible to show the recycling symbol with number 7 (Unicode character’RECYCLING SYMBOL FOR TYPE-7 PLASTICS’ (U+2679) according to ISOIEC 10646) andthe term “Other”.
The recommended thickness is (0,3 ± 0,1) mm.The height of the marking characters shall bebetween 3 mm and 7 mm.
An example for this marking is shown in Figure 2.
4.4 Dimensions and design
All dimensions given in this document correspond to a temperature of 20 °C of the polypropylene-polyethylene copolymer.BS IEC 60095-2 pdf download.
