Basic operating requirements for battery cargo

1. Battery definition and operation requirements:*Lithium battery: refers to all kinds of lithium batteries with different chemical compositions, electrodes and electrolytes. Lithium batteries are classified in IATA DGR as:1. Lithium ion: refers to a spare (rechargeable) battery, generally used in electronic products, including lithium polymer batteries. Usually used in common electronic equipment, such as mobile phones, laptops, etc. Lithium-ion batteries are divided into three packaging types:Ø Packaging type PI965: pure lithium ionØ Packaging type PI966: Lithium-ion batteries packed together with the equipment, which need to be placed separately from the equipment;Ø Packaging type PI967: The lithium-ion battery installed in the device is a built-in type and cannot be separated from the device;According to the IATA GGR standard, lithium-ion batteries suitable for air transport must have a power value (WH) within the specified value, otherwise they are considered dangerous goods.Li-ion power requirements are as follows:Ø Battery core: It means that there is no outer shell packaging, only chips, and its rated watt-hour WH ≤ 20 watt-hour.Ø Battery pack: it refers to the outer package with a casing, and its rated watt-hour WH ≤ 100 watt-hour.The WH hourly rate must be marked on the outside of the lithium-ion battery. If the WH value is not marked on the battery, the battery capacity needs to be converted. The calculation formula is: Watt (WH) = Capacity (MAH) * Voltage (V) / 1000MAH For example, it is marked on the outside of the battery : Lithium-ion battery, capacity: 2000MAH voltage: 3.7V, its WH=2000MAH*3.7V/1000=7.4 (WH).2. Lithium metal battery (Lithium metal): usually refers to a disposable (non-rechargeable) battery containing lithium metal or lithium mixture as an electrode, generally used in electronic watches, calculators, cameras, etc. Lithium metal batteries are divided into three packaging types:Ø Packaging type PI968: pure lithium metal battery;Ø Packaging type PI969: Lithium metal battery packed together with the equipment, the battery needs to be placed separately from the equipment;Ø Packaging type PI970: The lithium metal battery installed in the device is a built-in type and cannot be separated from the device;According to the IATA GGR standard, lithium metal batteries suitable for air transport must have a lithium content (g) within the specified value, otherwise they are considered dangerous goods. Lithium metal lithium content requirements are as follows:Ø Battery core: means that there is no outer shell package, only the chip, and its lithium metal lithium content is ≤1g.Ø Battery pack: refers to the outsourcing package with a lithium metal lithium content ≤ 2g.3. Lithium battery packaging requirements:Ø Packaging type PI965, PI968 (pure lithium battery): batteries and battery cells must be packed separately in a sealed inner packaging, and then packed into a strongThe inner and outer packaging must use barrels, square barrels and boxes, and other packaging (such as PAK bags) is not accepted;Ø Packaging type PI966, PI969 (supporting battery): The battery and the device should be placed separately and have anti-short-circuit measures;Ø Packaging type PI967, PI970 (with built-in battery): a strong outer packaging is required, and the inner packaging must be properly fixed, and the contents cannot be shaken.And make sure that the power of the device inside is turned off. All batteries installed in the device must be insulated;Ø Packaging type: PI965, PI967: If the goods are double-packaged, the lithium battery label is required for both double-packages, and marked on the outer package”OVERPACK”Ø Watches with batteries must be insulated, that is, the batteries must be removed and packaged separately, or a rubber gasket should be placed between the battery and the watch, or insulated by other methods.Ø All battery goods must be able to withstand 1.2M drop test. At the same time, it will not damage the battery and will not move the internal objects; it will not expose the internal objects.Ø All battery goods must pass the UN38.3 testing standard.Ø All batteries with safety defects recalled by the manufacturer are prohibited from carriage.1. Lithium battery weight and quantity restrictions:Ø PI965 (pure lithium-ion battery):a) When the capacity of a single cell or battery is ≤2.7WH, the weight of the battery in a single package shall not exceed 2.5KG, and there is no limit to the number of cells or batteries in the package.b) When the capacity of a single battery cell is greater than 2.7WH but less than or equal to 20WH, no more than 8 battery cells can be contained in a single package.c) When the capacity of a single battery is greater than 2.7WH but less than or equal to 100WH, there shall be no more than two batteries in a single package.Ø PI968 (pure lithium metal battery):a) When the lithium content of a single battery cell or battery is less than or equal to 0.3 grams, the weight of the battery cell or battery in a single package shall not exceed 2.5KG, and the number of battery cells or batteries is not limited.b) When the lithium content of a single battery cell is greater than 0.3 grams and less than or equal to 1 gram, the number of battery cells in a single package shall not exceed 8.c) The lithium content of a single battery is greater than 0.3 grams and less than or equal to 2 grams, and there shall be no more than two lithium batteries in a single package.Ø PI966, PI969 (lithium ion, lithium metal supporting battery)In addition to the necessary batteries for the equipment, the spare battery is limited to no more than 2. The battery and the battery, and the battery and the equipment should be placed separately and have anti-short circuit measures. The weight of the battery in a single package must not exceed 5KG.Ø PI967, PI970 (lithium ion, lithium metal built-in battery)The weight of batteries in a single package shall not exceed 5KG.2. Lithium battery label filling requirementsØ 1. The latest version of the UN battery label corresponding to the battery type must be used (UN3481 stands for PI966/PI967; UN3091 stands for PI969/PI970)Ø 2.
