This work is about safety standard EN 62368-1 ed, Annex M to be more exact. All necessary test procedures are described for equipment, that includes a battery. We have some examples of different kinds of battery, because not all batteries are included in this category.
In todays world batteries makes our life easier when we have to do a certain job on a location without a power plug, or any source of electric energy. That is why we can find batteries in a lot of different products, for example: portable computer, smartphone, battery powered lawn mower, different kinds of lamps, smart tablets, GPS trackers, scooter, car industry, power tools, etc. Safety standard which I am talking about is not covering all aspects of electric equipment, but it does cover a large share. In this work I am taking into account a portable speaker and GPS tracker, for the practical point of view.
For us to start safety testing these equipment, firstly the battery has to be certified, because this safety standard does not cover safety of battery as a unit, but covers only the protection circuit of the battery/equipment.
All the equipment mentioned in this work, were properly tested with accordance of the safety standard. The safeguards remained effective after the tests, and all the equipment was recognized as safe.
