Egypt - Draft Standard for Secondary Lithium-ion Cells for the Propulsion of Electric Road Vehicles

​This draft of Egyptian standard specifies performance and lifetime tests for secondary lithium-ion cells used to propel electric vehicles, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).

This standard specifies test procedures to obtain the basic characteristics of lithium-ion cells used in vehicle propulsion applications with respect to capacity, power density, energy density, storage life, and cycle life.

This standard describes standard test procedures and conditions for selecting the basic performance characteristics of lithium-ion cells used in vehicle propulsion applications that are necessary in order to ensure a basic level of performance and to obtain basic cell data for different designs of battery systems and battery assemblies

This draft standard is technically identical with IEC 62660-1:2018.
