Lead-acid batteries for motor cycles
1 Scope
This standard specifies the terms, models, structure, product classification, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules as well as packaging, transportation and storage of lead-acid batteries for motor cycles.
This standard is applicable to lead-acid batteries (hereinafter referred to as batteries) used for motorcycle starting, ignition and lighting.
2 Terms, definitions and symbols
2.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1.1
cell
each cell of a multi-cell monobloc battery
2.1.2
valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery
sealed battery with a valve that allows gas to escape if the internal pressure of the battery exceeds a predetermined value
Note: No electrolyte can be added in such a battery or battery pack under normal conditions.
2.2 Symbols
C10——the 10h rated capacity, Ah.
Ca——the 10h actual capacity, Ah.
I10——10h discharge current, A, with a value of C10/10.
Ica——the current after 10min of charge during charge acceptance test, A.
3 Model designation, structural dimensions and product classification
3.1 Model designation
3.1.1 "The product type is represented by the first capitalized letter 'M' of the Chinese character '摩' (pronounced "Mo"). See Figure 1 for the details of designation.
Model meaning:
For example: A valve-regulated dry-charged lead-acid starting battery for motor cycles composed of 6 cells in series, with a rated capacity of 7Ah, is designated by 6-MFQA-7-1A.

3.1.2 The positions of terminal (polarity) and vent port shall be well identified.
3.1.3 The manufacturer may determine the feature identification according to the actual situation.
3.2 Overall dimensions
3.2.1 See Figure 2 for the overall dimensions of the structure.
3.2.2 The overall dimensions in Table 1 and Table 2 refer to the overall dimensions of the container and cover, excluding the battery filler plug, vent port and terminal protrusion. Batteries with special specifications and models not listed in Table 1 and Table 2 shall be determined by the manufacturer and the user through negotiation.
