BS 6290-3:1999
Foreword
This part of BS 6290 has been prepared by Technical Committee PEL/21.
This British Standard is part 3 of a series of standards. It specifies requirements for
flat-plate cells and batteries with pasted positive plates. It supersedes BS 6290-3:1986
which is withdrawn.
BS 6290-1 has been withdrawn, having been superseded jointly by BS 6290-2:1999,
BS 6290-3:1999, BS 6290-4:1997 and BS EN 60896-1:1992.

BS 6290-2 specifies requirements for lead-acid high-performance Plante plate cells and
batteries.
BS 6290-4 specifies the criteria for classifying lead-acid valve-regulated cells and
batteries.
BS EN 60896-1 specifies general requirements for all free-venting types of stationary
lead-acid cells and batteries.
Guidance on safety and health aspects of the handling, installation, usage and
maintenance of lead-acid stationary cells and batteries is given in BS 6133.
Annexes designated normative are part of the body of the standard.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

6 Type tests
NOTE Where individual cell voltages cannot be measured, e.g. in
the case of monobloc units, the cell voltage should be derived by
dividing the voltage of the unit by the number of cells in the unit.
Where a sample size is quoted in the test method, the value stated
for cells applies to monobloc units.

No. 1, clause 19 to 22 (section six).

Annexes
Annex A (informative)
Applications
Annex B (informative)
Electromagnetic compatibility
Rechargeable cells or batteries within the scope of this
standard are not sensitive to normal electromagnetic
disturbances, and therefore no immunity tests are
required under the terms of Directive 89/336/EEC
(EMC Directive) [1].
Free-standing rechargeable cells or batteries electrically
isolated from any associated electrical system are for
all practical purposes electromagnetically inert, and
therefore any requirement for conformity with
Directive 89/336/EEC [1] in respect of electromagnetic
emission is deemed to be satisfied.
It should be noted that the electrical system in which
rechargeable cells or batteries are incorporated, or the
manner in which they are used within that system,
could fall within the scope of the Directive 89/336/EEC
concerning electromagnetic compatibility. In such
cases, the requirements of the Directive should be
accommodated by the design of the system.
Further information on the application of CE marking
in respect of the EMC Directive is given in CENELEC
Report R021-001 [2].

Annex D (informative)
Recharge characteristics
D.1 Constant-current charging
At the normal rate of 0.09Cr3 (where Cr3 is the rated
capacity in amperes for a 3 h discharge time), a fully
discharged cell or monobloc (Cr3) would require a
recharge duration of approximately 14 h (see
Figure D.1, curve A). It is possible to recharge in a
shorter period of time (10 h) by commencing the
charge at the starting rate, i.e. 0.18Cr3 A. The rate
should be reduced to the finishing rate when the
gassing voltage has been reached, e.g. typically 2.35 V
per cell (see Figure D.1, curve B).
NOTE This will vary depending upon the electrolyte density and
temperature of the electrolyte.

Annex E (informative)
Operating characteristics
The recharge characteristics referred to in annex D do
not reflect in total the normal operating characteristics
of the type of cell, monobloc or battery covered by this
British Standard. Normally a battery will be subjected
to float-charge operation, in which a charging source at
a constant potential is applied to the battery and the
load. The constant-voltage d.c. source has the ability to
supply continuous and variable d.c. currents. The level
of constant voltage chosen depends upon the level of
battery maintenance required, the service life and the
availability of boost-charge facilities. It is possible to
operate these cells, monoblocs or batteries at constant
voltages of between 2.15 V and 2.3 V per cell, subject to
the electrolyte density, temperature and cell design.
Annex F (normative)
Additional capacity tests
If an additional test is required for capacity at a
discharge rate between the 1 h and 10 h rates, the
discharge shall be terminated at the appropriate final
voltage given in Table F.1.
If an additional capacity test is required at a discharge
rate faster than 1 h, the discharge shall be terminated
at the appropriate final voltage given in Table F.2.
