IEC 60086-2-2:2026 is applicable to primary batteries which are based on standardised lithium (non-aqueous) electrochemical systems. It specifies: - the physical dimensions, - the discharge test conditions and discharge performance requirements. This first edition cancels and replaces the fourteenth edition of IEC 60086-2 published in 2021. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) separation of batteries with aqueous electrolyte into a separate Part 2-1: Physical and electrical specifications; b) maximum open circuit voltage of FR10G445 and FR14505 was changed from 1,83 to 1,90 V; c) load of digital audio test for FR10G445 was changed from 50 mA to 75 mA and MAD was modified; d) portable lighting test was added for FR10G445; e) motor/toy and radio /clock /remote control test was added for FR14505; f) in Clause 3, terms were reordered according their functions: electrochemical systems, electrochemical systems, electrical characteristics and specifications; g) Annex D for common designation of IEC 60086 2:2021 was moved to IEC 60086 1:2026, as Annex H; h) Annex E for Compliance checklist of IEC 60086 2:2021 was removed and merged into Annex J of IEC 60086 1:2026.
IEC 60086-2-1:2026 is applicable to primary batteries which are based on standardised electrochemical systems using aqueous electrolytes. It specifies: - the physical dimensions, - the discharge test conditions and discharge performance requirements. IEC 60086-2-1: 2026 cancels and replaces the fourteenth edition of IEC 60086 2 published in 2021. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) separation of lithium batteries into IEC 60086-2-2: Physical and electrical specifications; b) in Clause 3, terms were reordered according to their functions: electrochemical systems, electrical characteristics and specifications; c) TR03 and TR6 were added in Category 1, Round batteries; d) load of digital audio test for LR03, TR03 and R03 was changed from 50 mA to 75 mA and MAD was modified; e) personal grooming test of LR6 was added instead of high drain application test; f) high drain application test was added for TR6; g) radio /clock /remote control test was added for R6S; h) CD, digital audio, wireless gaming and accessories test was removed for LR6, R6P and R6S; i) 4,5 V of common designation was added for 3LR12, 3R12P and 3R12S; j) Annex D for common designation of IEC 60086 2:2021 was moved to IEC 60086 1:2026, as Annex H; k) Annex E for Compliance checklist of IEC 60086 2:2021 was removed and merged into Annex J of IEC 60086 1:2026.
