Batterityp

Batterityp is a term used in Nordic technical literature to denote a specific type or class of battery. It refers to a category defined by its chemical composition, geometry, electrical characteristics, and intended application. In catalogs, datasheets, and product specifications, batterityp helps distinguish between different energy storage devices, such as lithium-ion types, nickel-based batteries, and lead-acid blocks, as well as by form factor like cylindrical cells, prismatic packs, or pouch cells.

The word batterityp is a compound of batteri (battery) and typ (type). It is commonly used to describe a battery category within a larger system of classifications, and may be found in engineering documents, procurement lists, and safety manuals. While not always treated as a formal standard in itself, the term signals a grouping based on shared technical characteristics rather than a single model.

Classification within a batterityp typically covers chemistry (for example lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, nickel-cadmium, lead-acid, solid-state), form factor (cylindrical, prismatic, pouch), nominal voltage, capacity, and intended use (consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, backup power). Characteristics such as energy density, cycle life, charging behavior, operating temperature range, and safety concerns are used to differentiate batterityper within broader categories.

Standards and safety labeling relevant to batterityper include international guidelines and tests governing battery safety, transport, and performance, such as IEC 62133 for safety of portable batteries and UN 38.3 for transport requirements. The term itself does not denote a specific standard but is aligned with established classification practices in the energy storage field.
