Lithium-ion battery assembly and transportation, such as improper solution, easy to burn and explode, and accidents happen from time to time. Its packaging and transportation of non-standard behavior and the accidents caused by more and more attention, a number of international agencies have issued a number of regulations, the management agencies are also more and more stringent, to improve the operational requirements. Compliant packages must be labeled with a Class 9 hazardous label, in addition to the applicable proper shipping name and UN number markings.
How to pack lithium-ion batteries?
1. Ensure that lithium-ion batteries are individually packaged in completely closed inner packaging, such as blister packs or cardboard to ensure that each battery is protected;
2. Tip and protect lithium-ion batteries from short circuits or if the packaging comes into contact with any electrically conductive material that could cause a short circuit;
3. Ensure that the packaging is reliable (i.e. validated) to meet any of the detection requirements of paragraph 38.3 of Part III of the UN Detection Manual and Conditions;
4. ensure that the lithium-ion battery is fully tipped. Except for batteries labeled "built into device";
5. Pack the shipment in a sturdy box;
6. Provide proper labeling and documentation.
However, lithium-ion battery shipments or products containing lithium-ion battery goods packaging up some difficulties, but as long as in accordance with the provisions of the science of packaging, lithium-ion battery shipments or products containing lithium-ion battery packs of goods safety packaging will no longer have any problems!
Lithium-ion battery packaging specifications and requirements
Lithium-ion battery packs have the following forms, one is soft pack, that is, aluminum-plastic composite film packaging, this form of lithium-ion battery polymer material can be made into any shape;
Secondly, aluminum shell packaging, generally applicable to large-capacity lithium-ion batteries, there is a possibility of combustion when damaged, but basically there is no possibility of explosion.
The third is the steel shell packaging, lithium-ion batteries early basic are steel shell, but later because of the weight performance and other reasons had been replaced by the aluminum-plastic film and aluminum shell many, but later with the advancement of technology, today's large-capacity batteries steel material physical stability, resistance to pressure is much higher than the aluminum material, in the design of various lithium-ion battery manufacturers after the optimization of the structure, the safety device has been placed inside the battery core, the steel shell The safety of the column battery has reached a new height.
Lithium-ion battery assembly requirements are as follows:
1. Clear classification
First of all, it needs to be clear which category of dangerous goods your product belongs to. Lithium-ion batteries are classified into Class 9: Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods. Goods belonging to this category may pose a threat to human health and safety, the safety of facilities and their means of transportation during transportation. This classification tells you what documentation, labeling and marking is required when transporting this particular product.
2. Packing Completion
After categorizing your product, it is critical that you find a packaging partner to provide the correct packaging for your product to help you comply with all regulations. Work with your packaging supplier to develop a packaging solution and test it again and again.
3. Get it labeled
If you are using UN-certified packaging, it must be clearly declared with the proper marking that complies with UN regulations.
4. Labeled
Labels must be attached to a shipment of dangerous goods in accordance with the regulations. Labeling includes the UN code and the name of the shipment, in this case "UN3480 Lithium Ion Batteries" and the correct Dangerous Goods category label. Other labels may be required in some cases.
5. Availability of supporting documentation
Before handing over the packaged goods to the shipping company, you need to make sure that you have all the correct documentation required to ship lithium ion batteries. Once these 5 requirements have been met, your lithium ion battery pack is ready to be shipped.
Lithium-ion batteries are classified as a Class 9 hazardous material, therefore, lithium-ion batteries need to be packaged in UN standard boxes. The marking on each lithium-ion battery assembly is exactly the same as the name and model of the goods in the corresponding package, and the model number is complete.
