This part of IEC 62973 applies to lithium-ion battery technologies for auxiliary power supply systems used on rolling stock.
This document specifies the requirements of the characteristics and tests for the lithium-ion cells and supplements IEC 62973-1 which is applied to any rolling stock types (e.g. light rail vehicles, tramways, streetcars, metros, commuter trains, regional trains, high speed trains, locomotives, etc.). Unless otherwise specified, the requirements of IEC 62973-1 apply.This document specifies the requirements of the interface between the batteries and the battery charger, and the battery management system.
This document is used in conjunction with other related IEC standards for auxiliary equipment used for railway rolling stock applications and IEC 62619 (safety requirements) and IEC 62620 (performance requirements) of lithium-ion cells and batteries used in industrial applications.
