BS EN 50342-4 1 Scope This document is applicable to lead-acid batteries used for heavy vehicles.The object of this document is to specify the European requirements of the main dimensions of starter batteries. For new and future developments of the above applications, it is expected that only batteries from the“Preferred Types” series be used. Batteries of the series of“Other Types” exist under several national standards. They have been transferred from the previous standard EN 60095-4. The preferred types A, B and C are newly introduced and correspond closely to the types D4, D5 and D6 with some differences in tolerances and dimensions. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.  EN 50342-1, Lead- acid starter batteries – Part 1: General requirements and methods of test EN 50342-2, Lead-acid starter batteries – Part 2: Dimensions of batteries and marking of terminals EN 50342-5, Lead- acid starter batteries – Part 5: Properties of battery housings and handles EN 61429, Marking of secondary cells and batteries with the intermnational recycling symbol Iso 7000-1135 and indications regarding directives 93/86/EEC and 91/157/EEC (IEC 61429) EN ISO 1043-1，Plastics – Symbols and abbreviated terms – Part 1: Basic polymers and their special characteristics (ISO 1043-1) IEC 60050-482, International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV)一Part 482: Primary and secondary cells and batteries IEC 60417, Graphical symbols for use on equipment ISO 11469, Plastics 一Generic identification and marking of plastics products.This fastening shall be effected at a level defined by dimensions h1 in the figures. The configuration shall permit the ftting of an angle-iron frame, both legs of which are 20 mm wide, for the major part of the lid’s four sides.  However, types D1, D2a, D3a, D4a, D5a, D8, D9 and ATM may be fastened either by the base of the battery container or by the upper part of the battery. Fastening by the base of the case on the long sides is effected by fixing ledges over the full length of the long sides and providing notches to prevent movement of the battery lengthwise as shown. Fastening by the base of the case on the short sides is effected by fixing lugs with notches to prevent movement of the battery crosswise.BS EN 50342-4 pdf download.
