BS IEC 60095-2:2021 pdf free download – Lead-acid starter batteries Part 2: Dimensions of batteries and dimensions and marking of terminals.
5.4 Mounting of batteries
5.4.1 General
Starter batteries in accordance with the LN series may be fixed to the vehicles either:
— by a bottom hold-down device of the long side,
— by a bottom hold-down device of the short side, or
— by means of a hold-down device engaging with the upper part of the battery (for example, a metal frame), connected to the top clamping area (see Figure 4 and Figure 7).
In either case, these batteries shall have top clamping areas on the long sides.
The hold-down clamps of support shall match with the ledges and notches to provide secure fastening in all directions.
5.4.2 Dimensions and arrangement of ledges and notches
All batteries of the LN series shall have ledges for fastening over the length of all sides as an integral part of the battery container and allowing the battery to be fixed by means of the bottom of the container.
The positions and dimensions of ledges and notches shall be according to Figure 6 and Figure 7.
The profile of the ledges shall be in accordance with Figure 8 and Figure 9. The length of the ledges on the rear side of the battery shall be reduced by 20 mm from both ends compared to the one on the front side (see Figure 4).
The hold-down clamps of the support shall match with the ledges and the notches to provide secure fastening in either direction.
To allow a symmetrical rotation for fastening the opposite ledges contain an equal number of notches. To secure correct positioning of the battery on the support the ledges shall have 5 notches on the long sides and 3 notches on the short sides.
The object of this clause is to specify:
— the main dimensions of starter batteries of LBN, L, LB, E, EB, LS, LBS, ES and EBS series;
— the location of the positive and negative terminals with respect to the fastening system;
— the dimensions of tapered terminals;
— the marking of the polarity.
6.2 Main dimensions of batteries
The main dimensions of the batteries of series LBN are shown in Table 2, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7. Note that the main difference of LBN types compared to LN types is the dimensions H and h.
The main dimensions of the batteries of series L, LS, LB and LBS are shown in Table 3,
Figure 19, Figure 20 and Figure 21.
The main dimensions of the batteries of series E, ES, EB and EBS are shown in Table 4,
Figure 19, Figure 20 and Figure 21.
NOTE The schematic drawings do not show every design detail of the battery.
The following symbols are used:
b Overall width above ledges
b1 Width across ledges
l Overall length without handles
l1 Length at battery base
l2 Length at battery base with ledges
C Additional length for handles
H Overall height including lid, plugs and terminals.
