Un number lithium ion batteries

What is the UN number for lithium ion batteries?

(i) The mark must indicate the UN number: “UN3090” for lithium metal cells or batteries, or “UN3480” for lithium ion cells or batteries. Where the lithium cells or batteries are contained in, or packed with, equipment, the UN number “UN3091” or “UN3481,” as appropriate, must be indicated.

How do I know if a lithium battery has a UN number?

Where the lithium cells or batteries are contained in, or packed with, equipment, the UN number “UN3091” or “UN3481,” as appropriate, must be indicated. Where a package contains lithium cells or batteries assigned to different UN numbers, all applicable UN numbers must be indicated on one or more marks.

What is the proper shipping name for lithium ion batteries?

Proper Shipping Name Mark – “Lithium ion batteries packed with equipment” or “Lithium ion batteries contained in equipment”, as appropriate. Note: if the package contains both lithium ion batteries packed with and contained in equipment, the proper shipping name is “Lithium Ion Batteries Packed with Equipment”.

What is a lithium battery?

Lithium Battery – The term “lithium battery” refers to a family of batteries with different chemistries, comprising many types of cathodes and electrolytes. For the purposes of the DGR they are separated into: Lithium metal batteries. Are generally primary (non-rechargeable) batteries that have lithium metal or lithium compounds as an anode.

Are lithium ion batteries included in equipment?

This applies to UN 3481 Lithium ion batteries contained in equipment (see Section II of Packing Instruction 967) and UN3091 Lithium metal batteries contained in equipment (see section II of Packing Instruction 970), except that button cells installed in equipment (including circuit boards) need not be considered.

How much lithium ion battery should a package contain?

Lithium metal battery ≤ 2 g lithium content Lithium ion battery ≤ 100 Wh Packages containing LITHIUM BATTERIES (not contained in or packed with equipment) must not exceed 30 kg gross mass. Good quality packaging to withstand the shocks and loading normally encountered during transport. Constructed and closed to prevent loss of contents.
