BS IEC 60095-2:2021 pdf download – Lead-acid starter batteries Part 2: Dimensions of batteries and dimensions and marking of terminals 4.3 Recycling 4.3.1 Recycling of lead The batteries shall be marked with the symbols for recycling and separate collection according to IEC 60095-1 . 4.3.2 Recycling of plastic material Injection moulded battery components need to be marked according to ISO 1 1 469 and ISO 1 043-1 . The marking shall be placed on the bottom of the battery container or on one short side near the ledge. According to ISO 1 1 469 and ISO 1 043-1 the minimum marking for polypropylene-polyethylene copolymer is >PP< or >PP/PE<. In addition it is possible to show the recycling symbol with number 7 (Unicode character ‘RECYCLING SYMBOL FOR TYPE-7 PLASTICS’ (U+2679) according to ISO/IEC 1 0646) and the term “Other”. The recommended thickness is (0,3 ± 0,1 ) mm. The height of the marking characters shall be between 3 mm and 7 mm. An example for this marking is shown in Figure 2. 4.4 Dimensions and design All dimensions given in this document correspond to a temperature of 20 °C of the polypropylene-polyethylene copolymer. Details of the design that are not indicated in the generic drawings need to be chosen appropriately. The generic drawings in this document are possible examples only. Especially the design of the lid, handles, ribs, ledges and vent caps are not mandatory in total. 4.5 Dimensions of tapered battery terminals The dimensions of the tapered positive and negative terminal shall be according to Figure 3. 5 Recommended types used in Europe (EU) 5.1 General For new battery developments, only the recommended series shall be used. Clause 5 specifies: – the main dimensions of starter batteries of the preferred LN series; – the location of the positive and negative terminals with respect to the fastening system; – the dimensions of tapered terminals of starter batteries. 5.2 Main dimensions of batteries The main dimensions of the batteries of the LN series are shown in Table 1 and Figure 4,Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7. NOTE The schematic drawings do not show every design detail of the battery. The following symbols are used: 5.3 Handles 5.3.1 General Batteries with a weight less than or equal to 20 kg may be designed without, with one, or with two handles. Batteries with a weight of more than 20 kg shall have two...
