The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) approved IEEE 1661 - Guide For Test and Evaluation of Lead-Acid Batteries Used in Photovoltaic (PV) Hybrid Power Systems.

The guide verifies a battery's operating set points and performance in systems where PV and an engine generator are the only charging sources.

It includes information on the effect PV hybrid charging parameters have on battery performance and the interpretation of the battery test results.

The IEEE revised IEEE 1189 - Guide for Selection of Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) Batteries for Stationary Applications to reflect the current state of knowledge in this area.

IEEE 1189 covers all "significant issues" to be considered in selecting VRLA batteries for a variety of stationary float applications, according to the IEEE.
