Recommendation ITU-T L.1222 is based on Recommendation ITU-T L.1220 and is the part related to supercapacitors. Recommendation ITU-T L.1222 contains selection criteria for telecommunication application based on main performance parameters and the methods for proper use. In addition, some use cases and examples are given in an Appendix to help users.

This Recommendation is the subpart 2, battery of a series of Recommendations on innovative energy storage system for stationary power system of telecom/ICT equipment used in telecom networks, datacenters and CPE. This subpart introduces technologies and methods for evaluating, selecting and testing battery systems for defined applications.

With the increase of new technologies of energy storage there is need for a global overview of an energy storage system for use in stationary information and communication technology (ICT) installation in network, data centre and customer premises equipment (CPE), and simple evaluation of acceptable duration and characterization methods for this specific purpose. This Recommendation introduces an open series of documents for different families of technologies (battery systems, super-capacitor systems, etc.) that will be enriched progressively as new technologies emerge that may have a possible significant impact in the field of energy storage. Identified parts of the Recommendation series innovative energy storage technology for stationary use are: - Part 1: Overview of energy storage - Part 2: Battery - Part 3: Super-capacitor technology
