This section of IEC 60254 applies to lead-acid traction batteries utilized as power sources for electric propulsion. The purpose of this standard is to define the following:
- The maximum external dimensions of traction battery cells, including width, height, and length.
- The format for marking the polarity of traction battery cells, along with the dimensions of the corresponding symbols.
- The basic dimensions of commonly used traction battery terminals intended for connecting output cables to the battery.
- The dimensions of cells typically used in Asia and North America.
