This European standard specifies procedures and conditions for the measurement of the parameters for the determination of the state of health and expected lifetime for light means of transport (LMT) batteries with a battery management system (BMS). These are sealed batteries with a maximum weight of 25 kg that are specifically designed to provide electric power for the traction of wheeled vehicles that can be propelled by an electric motor alone or by a combination of motor and human power, including type-approved vehicles of category L within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and that is not an electric vehicle battery. The scope of this document is restricted to lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries.
LMT batteries contain at least the following general classes:
• Batteries of L-category vehicles referred to in Article 2 of Regulation EU 168/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (e.g., batteries for light motorcycles, trikes and quads), where the battery weight is less than 25 kg.
• Batteries for EPACs (electronically power assisted cycle) with or without type approval
• Batteries for personal mobility devices (PMD) like e.g., e-kick-scooters, hoverboards, self-balancing vehicles.
Batteries above 25 kg for mobility are not in the scope of this standard, even though they may be used in L category vehicles (e.g. L7 category). Batteries for toys are also not in the scope of this standard based on the recital 15 of (EU) 2023/1542: "Batteries used for traction in wheeled vehicles considered to be toys within the meaning of Directive 2009/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, should, for the purposes of this Regulation, not be considered to be LMT batteries, but to be portable batteries.
