    N 2 is the maximum diameter (in case of cylindrical cells) or thickness (prismatic cells) in mm. N 3 is only used for prismatic cells to denote the maximum width in mm. N 4 is the maximum overall height in mm. (For any of the lengths above, if the dimension is smaller than 1 mm it can be written as tN, where N is tenths of mm)
