Power battery UL2580 certification standard range

The UL2580 standard covers internal energy storage devices for electric vehicles such as battery cells, battery modules, and battery pack systems. This standard evaluates the ability of batteries to withstand simulated abuse and to protect personnel when abuse creates a hazard. At the same time, the standard evaluates the reliability of charging and discharging parameters of batteries and battery modules within the operating temperature range specified by the manufacturer. However, the standard does not take into account the interaction of other control systems in the electric vehicle with the battery.

The power batteries used in light electric vehicles (such as electric bicycles, electric wheelchairs, electric scooters, etc.) have separate requirements in the UL2271 standard, so they are not within the scope of the UL2580 standard.

In the UL2580 certification of power batteries, all the test items are for the test of power battery packs and battery modules for electric vehicles, and there are no test items for single cells, but the standard also specifically states that the cells must meet the corresponding battery standards. For example, lithium-ion cells must pass UL1642, and nickel-based cells must meet the requirements of cell testing in UL2054.
