    Lead acid starter batteries — Specification — Part 1: General requirements

    This standard is applicable to lead- acid batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V. used primarily as a power source for the starting of internal combustion engines, lighting and also for auxiliary equipment of internal combustion engine vehicles. These batteries are commonly called "starter batteries". Batteries with a nominal voltage of 6 V are also included within the scope of this standard. All referenced voltages have to be divided by two for 6 V batteries: This standard is applicable to batteries for the following purposes: batteries for passenger cars; batteries for commercial and industrial vehicles for normal use; and batteries for commercial and industrial vehicles for severe use. This standard is not applicable to batteries for other purposes, for example, the starting of railcar internal combustion engines.

    Lead-acid starter batteries — Part 2: Dimensions of batteries and dimentions and marking of terminals

    This East African Standard is applicable to lead-acid batteries used for starting, lighting and ignition of passenger automobiles and light commercial vehicles with a nominal voltage of 12 V fastened to the vehicles by means of ledges on the long sides of the battery case (standard fastening). Since other methods of fastening the batteries are at present in use, two alternative admissible means are also specified.The object of the present standard is to specify; the main dimensions of starter batteries of four standard series; the location of the positive and negative terminals with respect to the fastening system; the dimensions of tapered terminals of starter batteries; and the marking of the polarity
