Li-ion

xEVs involved in incidents present unique hazards associated with the high voltage system (including the battery system). These hazards can be grouped into 3 categories: chemical, electrical, and thermal. The potential consequences can vary depending on the size, configuration and specific battery chemistry. Other incidents may arise from secondary events such as garage fires and floods. These types of incidents are also considered in the recommended practice (RP). This RP aims to describe the potential consequences associated with hazards from xEVs and suggest common procedures to help protect emergency responders, tow and/or recovery, storage, repair, and salvage personnel after an incident has occurred with an electrified vehicle. Industry design standards and tools were studied and where appropriate, suggested for responsible organizations to implement. Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries used for vehicle propulsion power are the assumed battery systems of this RP. These battery chemistries are the prevailing technologies associated with high voltage vehicle electrification today and the foreseeable future. The hazards associated with these specific battery chemistries are addressed in this RP. Other chemistries and alternative propulsion systems including Fuel Cells are not considered in this version of SAE J2990.

Scope

This American National Standard specifies performance requirements for standardized portable lithium-ion, nickel cadmium, and nickel metal hydride rechargeable cells and batteries to ensure their safe operation under normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse, and includes information relevant to hazard avoidance. It is understood that consideration of this American National Standard might also be given to measuring and/or ensuring the safety of non-standardized secondary batteries. In either case, no claim or warranty is made that compliance or non-compliance will fulfill or not fulfill any of the user's particular purposes or needs.

Scope

This publication applies to portable rechargeable, or secondary, cells and batteries based on the following electrochemical systems: a) Nickel-Cadmium b) Nickel-metal hydride c) Lithium-ion. Section 1 of this standard contains general information and all standardized performance and mechanical tests upon which all the specifications in Section 2 are based. Section 2 specification sheets list those tests and requirements described herein that are required for each battery. Not all tests in Section 1 are necessarily required on every specification sheet. Part 2 of this standards describes all safety tests and requirements.
