Battery knowledge · Vehicle and transport standards

ISO 16750

The ISO series defining environmental conditions and tests for electrical and electronic equipment in road vehicles: part 2 electrical loads, part 3 mechanical, part 4 climatic and part 5 chemical. It is the usual basis for qualifying vehicle control units, battery electronics included; high-voltage traction packs are pointed instead to the parallel series ISO 19453, part 6.

ISO 19453

Example

Vehicle and transport standards: an example situation

Shipping tests and vehicle battery approval tests address different uses; passing one does not automatically satisfy another.

Read ISO 16750 alongside Battery management system in this context. The electronics and software that keep a battery inside its safe window: measuring every cell voltage and many temperatures, estimating SOC and SOH, balancing cells, computing current limits, controlling the contactors and reporting over the vehicle network.
