UN3480 or UN3481 lithium batteries should be distinguished from the packaging: UN3480, lithium-ion battery; UN3481, lithium-ion battery is installed in the equipment, UN3481, lithium-ion battery is packaged with the equipment; the specific analysis is as follows:
To transport lithium batteries, you first need to provide the corresponding UN number. Lithium batteries, as the following UN numbers, are classified in Category 9 miscellaneous dangerous goods:
UN3090, lithium metal battery;
UN3480, lithium ion battery;
UN3091, lithium metal battery installed in the equipment;
UN3091, lithium metal battery packaged with the equipment;
p>
UN3481, the lithium-ion battery is installed in the device;
UN3481, the lithium-ion battery is packaged with the device;
As can be seen from the above, lithium batteries with different numbers The packaging of the battery is different. UN3480 is just a simple lithium-ion battery with no other requirements, while UN3481 needs to be installed in the device or packaged with the device.
Extended information:
Lithium batteries can be roughly divided into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium and are rechargeable. The fifth generation product of rechargeable batteries, lithium metal batteries, was born in 1996. Its safety, specific capacity, self-discharge rate and performance-price ratio are superior to lithium-ion batteries;
Due to its own high technology Restrictions are required, and companies in only a few countries are producing such lithium metal batteries. Lithium-ion batteries generally use lithium alloy metal oxide as the positive electrode material, graphite as the negative electrode material, and a non-aqueous electrolyte.
