Battery-size standards Technical Information Report available

With the constantly changing landscape in lithium-ion battery development and more than 130 unique cell sizes in different global standards, the electric vehicle (EV) battery market has become crowded with an array of products. The SAE Battery Cell Size Standardization Committee, one of SAE's 700 technical standards development committees, spent the last two years working on a Technical Information Report (TIR) to help alleviate the confusion.

The “J3124 Industry Review of xEV Battery Size Standards” (www.sae.org/standards/content/j3124_201806/) report was written to provide comprehensive reference and background information pertaining to battery size standards for xEV vehicles (covering all vehicle types, from micro-electric to full EV) in the global transportation industry.
