IEC 62485

The installation standard for secondary batteries and battery installations: ventilation, protection against electric shock, and the layout of battery rooms. Part 2 covers stationary batteries, part 3 traction batteries for industrial trucks.

IEEE 485

IEEE’s recommended practice for sizing stationary lead–acid batteries in float service: define the DC load as a duty cycle of currents over time, then choose the cell size and number that will carry it, with allowances for temperature, ageing and design margin. Charger sizing and other chemistries are outside its scope; the current revision dates from 2020.

Lead–acid battery

The oldest rechargeable chemistry, lead and lead dioxide electrodes in sulfuric acid, at 2 V per cell. Heavy and short-lived in deep cycling but cheap, recyclable and good at cold cranking, it still starts most cars and backs up most telecom sites.

Stationary storage

Batteries installed in a fixed place — a container at a solar farm, a cabinet in a home — to shift energy in time or support the grid. LFP cells dominate because cost per cycle and safety matter more than mass.

Valve-regulated lead–acid

A lead–acid battery whose electrolyte is immobilised in glass-fibre mats (AGM) or a gel, with a pressure valve instead of open vents, so it can be used in any orientation without maintenance. It recombines the gases of overcharge internally.
