This standard is applicable to lead-acid cells and batteries which are designed for service in fixed location (i.e. not habitually to be moved from place to place) and which are permanently connected to the load and to the d.c. power supply. Batteries operating in such applications are called "stationary batteries".Any type or construction of lead-acid battery may be used for stationary battery applications. This Part 1 of the standard is applicable to vented types only. A Part 2 will be prepared for valve-regulated types .
