1) The International Electrotechnic al Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization c omprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promot e
international co-operation on all questions conc erning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referr ed to as “IEC

in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC c ollaborates clos el y
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined b y
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agr eements of IEC on technic al matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

INTRODUCTION
The commercialisation of electric road vehicles including battery, hybrid and plug-in hybrid
electric vehicles has been accelerated in the global market, responding to the global concerns
on CO 2 reduction and energy security. This, in turn, has led to rapidly increasing demand for
high-power and high-energy density traction batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are estimated to
be one of the most promising secondary batteries for the propulsion of electric vehicles. In the
light of rapidly diffusing hybrid electric vehicles and emerging battery and plug-in hybrid
electric vehicles, a standard method for testing reliability and abuse requirements of lithium-
ion batteries is indispensable for securing a basic level of safety and obtaining essential data
for the design of vehicle systems and battery packs.
This standard is to specify reliability and abuse testing for automobile traction lithium-ion cells
that basically differ from the other cells including those for portable and stationary
applications specified by the other IEC standards. For automobile application, it is important
to note the usage specificity; i.e. the designing diversity of automobile battery packs and
systems, and specific requirements for cells and batteries corresponding to each of such
designs. Based on these facts, the purpose of this standard is to provide a basic test
methodology with general versatility, which serves a function in common primary testing of
lithium ion cells to be used in a variety of battery systems. For the requirements for cells differ
depending on the system designs of battery pack or vehicle, and should be evaluated by the
users, this standard does not provide any pass-fail criteria for the tests, but specifies a
standard classification of descriptions for test results.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62660 specifies test procedures to observe the reliability and abuse
behaviour of secondary lithium-ion cells used for propulsion of electric vehicles including
battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).
The objective of this standard is to specify the standard test procedures and conditions for
basic characteristics of lithium-ion cells for use in propulsion of battery and hybrid electric
vehicles. The tests are indispensable for obtaining essential data on reliability and abuse
behaviour of lithium-ion cells for use in various designs of battery systems and battery packs.
This standard provides standard classification of description of test results to be used for the
design of battery systems or battery packs.

6.1.3.1 Test 62660-2-2010
The test shall be performed as follows.
a) Adjust the SOC of cell to 100 % for BEV application and 80 % for HEV application in
accordance with 5.3.
b) The cell shall be placed on an insulated flat surface and be crushed with a crushing tool of
round or semicircular bar, or sphere or hemisphere with a 150 mm diameter. It is
recommended to use the round bar to crush a cylindrical cell, and the sphere for a
prismatic cell (see Figure 3). The force for the crushing shall be applied in direction nearly
perpendicular to a layered face of positive and negative electrodes inside cell. The
crushing tool shall be selected so that the cell is deformed nearly in proportion to the
increase of crushing force.
c) The force shall be released when an abrupt voltage drop of one-third of the original cell
voltage occurs, or a deformation of 15 % or more of initial cell dimension occurs, or the
force of 1 000 times the weight of cell applied. The cells remain on test for 24 h or until the
case temperature declines by 20 % of the maximum temperature rise, whichever is the
sooner.
