PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS AND TEST METHODS FOR BATTERIES USED IN PERSONAL/PORTABLE TRANSCEIVERS BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

Abstract

BATTERIES FOR PERSONAL/PORTABLE TRANSCEIVERS IS A LAW ENFORCEMENT EQUIPMENT STANDARD DEVELOPED BY THE LAW ENFORCEMENT STANDARDS LABORATORY OF THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS. IT ESTABLISHES MINIMUM PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS AND TEST METHODS FOR PRIMARY (DISPOSABLE) AND SECONDARY (RECHARGABLE) BATTERIES USED WITH HANDHELD RADIOS. THE REQUIREMENTS ARE STATED WITH REFERENCE TO THE TRANSCEIVER MODEL WITH WHICH THE BATTERIES ARE INTENDED TO BE USED. THE PRINCIPAL TERMS USED IN THE STANDARD ARE DEFINED, AS ARE THE MOST CRITICAL ITEMS OF TEST EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO MAKE THE REQUIRED MEASUREMENTS. THE STANDARD REQUIRES LABELING OF BATTERIES WITH TYPE AND MODEL, NOMINAL VOLTAGE, RATED CAPACITY, MONTH AND YEAR OF MANUFACTURE AND SEVERAL OTHER ATTRIBUTES. IT ALSO PROVIDES A SAMPLING TEST METHOD FOR USE IN ACCEPTANCE TESTING. THIS STANDARD IS INTENDED FOR USE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN THE SELECTION AND PROCUREMENT OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY BATTERIES. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT) (SNI ABSTRACT)
