4.1 Type of Ballot: Individual

4.2 Expected Date of submission of draft to the IEEE-SA for Initial Sponsor Ballot: 01/2016
4.3 Projected Completion Date for Submittal to RevCom: 02/2017

5.1 Approximate number of people expected to be actively involved in the development of this project: 20
5.2 Scope: This standard specifies the performance characteristics of battery chargers that continuously maintain a battery's state of charge
while simultaneously providing dc power to connected loads. These battery chargers provide transformer isolation of the dc output from the
input and are designed for stationary applications. Telecommunication applications are beyond the scope of this standard.

5.3 Is the completion of this standard dependent upon the completion of another standard: No
5.4 Purpose: The purpose of this standard is to provide requirements for the design, configuration and use of battery chargers for stationary
applications.

5.5 Need for the Project: The current standard, NEMA PE5, no longer reflects the state of the art nor does it meet the needs of the users. The
industry agrees that an updated standard is needed. NEMA is unable to update NEMA PE5 on its own.

5.6 Stakeholders for the Standard: Stakeholders for this standard include but are not limited to designers, manufacturers, system integrators
and users in power generation, transmission/distribution utilities and other industries.
