Lithium battery packs are marked with two capacities

What voltage does a lithium battery pack have?

Common voltages for lithium batteries include 3.2V, 3.7V, and 12V. What do the S and P on a lithium battery pack stand for? In short, they represent the series and parallel connection of batteries. For example, a 3s2p lithium battery represents three batteries in series, which increases the voltage.

Are lithium ion batteries packed with equipment?

E.11 I have lithium-ion batteries packed with equipment (PI 966, Section I) where the lithium ion batteries are packed in a UN specification fibreboard (4G) box and then that box is packed with the equipment in a fibreboard outer packaging. Is this an overpack?

What are lithium ion batteries?

For the purposes of the DGR they are separated into lithium metal batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Lithium metal batteries are generally primary (non-rechargeable) batteries that have lithium metal or lithium compounds as an anode. Also included within lithium metal are lithium alloy batteries.

Are lithium batteries rechargeable?

Lithium batteries fall into two broad classifications: lithium metal batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Lithium metal batteries are generally nonrechargeable and contain metallic lithium. - Lithium-ion batteries contain lithium which is only present in an ionic form in the electrolyte and are rechargeable.

What are the different types of lithium batteries?

IATA Guidance Document for Lithium Batteries and Sodium ion Batteries – 2025 OSS/Cargo Page 16 01/01/2025 Frequently Asked Questions Part A – Questions Related to Definitions A.01 What are the various types of lithium batteries? Lithium batteries fall into two broad classifications: lithium metal batteries and lithium-ion batteries.

How are lithium batteries packed?

the lithium batteries are packed into an inner packaging and then packed with the equipment into a UN specification packaging meeting Packing Group II performance standards. In either case what is presented for transport is a “package” and not an overpack.
