Since the late 1980s I always recommend V-0 (or better) for battery packs.
What I found out years ago was V-0 was lower cost than V-1, (from the
vendors we were using at that time).
I remember having a battery pack vendor call me in a panic over the V-1
being added to the requirements. I pointed out we were already using V-0
and meet the new requirements. That didn't help his other customers, but I
didn't have a crisis. That was 25+ years ago.
Anyway I still recommend using V-0 instead of V-1 for battery packs.

Hello All,
This is the first time that I've had a large NRTL safety engineer inform me
that the UL 62133-2 battery pack standard requires that the end-product
application enclosure plastic must be rated V-1 or better. I don't have
that standard. Can anybody here shed some light on this issue?
Thanks much,
Carl
