Abstract

This Uganda Standard is applicable to lead-acid batteries used primarily as a power source for the starting of internal combustion engines, lighting and ignition (SLI) of motorcycles and other power sport vehicles. The nominal voltage is 12 V or 6 V. Test definitions and criteria in this document are for batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V only. For batteries with a nominal voltage of 6 V, all voltages have to be divided by two. The other power sports vehicles covered in this document are snowmobiles, personal watercrafts and all-terrain vehicles. This document is not applicable to batteries for other purposes, such as the back-up power sources, auxiliary equipment of internal combustion engine vehicles and e-bikes. This document specifies general requirements, size, essential functional characteristics, relevant test methods and results required. This standard was published on 15 June 2021.
