The technical differences between this document and IEC 62973-1:2018, and the reasons therefor, are as follows.
---The nominal voltage value of the battery system has been changed (see Chapter 1), and the 32V and 36V standards, which are not available in China, have been removed;
---GB/T 2900.41-2008 has been added as a reference document in the introductory text of the "Terms and Definitions" chapter (see Chapter 3);
---The definitions of terms have been revised (see 3.1.3, 3.1.6) to conform to domestic practices;
---The system voltage has been changed (see Table 1), and standards not available in China have been removed;
---The description of the battery type has been changed (see 4.2) to conform to domestic usage habits;
---IEC 61373:2010 has been replaced with the normatively referenced GB/T 21563-2018 (see 4.3, 9.2.5), and the two documents are separated by...
The degree of consistency is modified to adapt to my country's technological conditions;

---Part 1: General Requirements. The aim is to standardize the electrical interfaces of battery systems by considering various types of batteries.
Based on specific load curves, the required capacity for various types of battery systems is calculated.
---Part 2: Nickel-Cadmium Batteries. The purpose is to specify the general requirements for nickel-cadmium batteries in auxiliary power supply systems of rail transit locomotives and rolling stock.
Requirements, mechanical requirements, electrical interfaces, markings, transportation, storage, and testing, while also specifying the use of individual/integrated nickel-cadmium batteries in rail transit.
Requirements for use on locomotives and rolling stock.
---Part 3: Lead-acid Batteries. The purpose is to specify the general requirements for lead-acid batteries in auxiliary power supply systems of rail transit locomotives and rolling stock.
Requirements, mechanical requirements, electrical interfaces, markings, transportation, storage and testing.
---Part 4: Nickel-Metal Hydrate Batteries. The purpose is to specify the general requirements for nickel-metal hydride batteries in auxiliary power supply systems of rail transit locomotives and rolling stock.
Requirements, mechanical requirements, electrical interfaces, markings, transportation, storage and testing.
---Part 5: Lithium-ion Batteries. The purpose is to specify the general requirements for lithium-ion batteries in auxiliary power supply systems of rail transit locomotives and rolling stock.
