doi:10.12028/j.issn.2095-4239.2018.0203

Abstract

Abstract: Some of typical safety standards and regulations of lithium ion traction batteries are compared, including ISO 12405, IEC 62660, SAE J2464, SAE J2929, UL 2580, ECE R100-02, GB/T 31485, GB/T 31467.3 and FreedomCAR. Safety tests are classified into three type tests, i·e. mechanical, environmental and electrical tests. The specific parameters of each test item in different standards and regulations are introduced in details. The similarities and differences of Chinese national standards with foreign standards are summarized, some shortcomings in the current standards are pointed out, and suggestions for improvement are put forward.

Key words: lithium ion power batteries, safety test, standards
