This recommended practice covers the sizing of lithium batteries used for standby operation in stationary applications. This includes batteries that connect to loads via a dc-dc converter. Design of the dc system and sizing for renewable or grid energy storage systems are beyond the scope of this document. Sizing for engine-starting applications such as emergency generators and fire pumps is beyond the scope of this document. Recommendations are provided for applications including, but not limited to, generating stations, substations, telecommunications, switchgear and control systems, compressor stations, emergency lighting, and uninterruptible power supplies.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
