4.2.3.2 Test method
Compliance with 4.2.3.1 a) is verified by the following test:
1) Battery terminals are short-circuited with the batteries in a fully charged
condition.
2) Motor terminals are short-circuited; all commands are in ON position, while the

batteries are fully charged.
3) The EPAC is operated with the electric motor or drive system blocked until the
motor torque stops or the battery is fully discharged.
4) The battery is charged for double the recommended charging period or for 24

h whichever is greater.
NOTE Testing the battery for example according to EN 62133 or EN 50604–1 is
considered as sufficient test to fulfil this requirement.

4.2.4 Battery charger

Chargers for EPAC are considered to be operated in a residential (household)
environment.
NOTE 1 For integrated battery charger with a 230V a.c. input the charger and the

EPAC and for external battery
charger supplied with an EPAC the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive are
applicable.

NOTE 2 For external chargers with d.c. output less than 42,4 Volt, e.g. EN
60335–2–29 is applicable.

4.2.5 Electric cables and connections

4.2.5.1 General

All connectors for cable and wire shall be selected to prevent corrosion of electrical
contact conductance.

4.2.5.2 Requirements
