IEC 60896的本部分适用于设计用于固定位置（即不习惯于从一个地方移动到另一个地方）的铅酸电池和蓄电池，并永久连接到负载和直流电源。在这种应用中工作的电池被称为“固定电池”。 任何类型或结构的铅酸电池均可用于固定式电池应用。本标准第11部分仅适用于通风类型。 IEC 60896-11第一版取消并取代了1987年出版的IEC 60896-1（第一版）及其修正案1（1988）和2（1990），并构成技术修订版。

This part of IEC 60896 is applicable to lead-acid cells and batteries which are designed for service in fixed locations (i.e. not habitually to be moved from place to place) and which are permanently connected to the load and to the d.c. power supply. Batteries operating in such applications are called "stationary batteries". Any type or construction of lead-acid battery may be used for stationary battery applications. This part 11 of the standard is applicable to vented types only. This first edition of IEC 60896-11 cancels and replaces IEC 60896-1 (first edition) published in 1987 and its amendments 1 (1988) and 2 (1990), and constitutes a technical revision.
