In addition to what others have already said there are also National
requirements for Lithium Ion Batteries/ Battery packs in Japan and Korea which
have an energy density greater then 400W/L. Japan is a self declaration so you
can get testing done in any lab while Korea requires the testing to be

Hi Gary,
I deal a lot with battery pack, both in ATEX and Pollution Degree 2 and 3.
Here is what I use:
IEC 62133 is the standard used for batteries in portable consumer
electronics. IEC 62133 is a standard used worldwide except in USA. In
USA, UL 1642 and UL 2054
Hi Gary,
The standard that you seek is EN/IEC 62133. It addresses the requirements at
the cell and pack level. In general, your explanation of cell verses packs is
correct. There are some variations depending on the exact standard you are
using but not significant to the grand scheme.
Hello Gary,
You are basically correct about the circuitry in a battery pack. The battery
cells are nothing more than the cell. They are basically the anode, cathode,
electrolyte, separators and outer case. Battery packs can have multiple
cells, and often include a PCM – Protection Circuit

Peter,
As far as IATA is concerned, Lithium batteries are covered by UN3090 and
packing instruction 903 and special provisions A45, A88, and A99 apply,
whereas Lithium batteries contained in equipment are UN3091 and packing
instruction 912 and special provision A45 and A48 apply. Lithium

Think you, Angus. The title for this standard is:
Primary Batteries - Part 4: Safety Standard for Lithium
Batteries
In my case, and I think this is true of all Li ion cells and
batteries, it is a secondary battery, meaning rechargeable.
Primary batteries can't be or aren't intended to be
Peter, you might try IEC60086-4, 2nd Edition, 2000-03.

I'll try the FAA. Good source I overlooked. I'm also
planning to search the MIL standards, later this week. I
suppose it would be a good idea to check on the EV
automotive standards, incase I have to piece together
something.
In my research, I did notice quite a few aircraft battery
Peter,
Sorry for the delay. It depends on how large the batteries are. UL has
one standard for Li Ion Batteries based on Lithium content [technician
replaceable lithium batteries that contain 5.0 g (0.18 ounce) or less
of metallic lithium; OR user-replaceable lithium batteries that contain
4.0 g
Note that besides the product safety issues, there are many
environmental issues with lithium batteries. Nearly every Euro
environmental acceptance form for our products asks if they
contain lithium batteries, and how these will be recycled or
reclaimed to avoid going to waste land fills.
The standards and methodology that I have used for UL/CSA and CE Marking is
to select UL Recognized batteries AND then focus upon:
Short Circuit
Reverse Charge
Overcharge
This is the best PRACTICAL guidance material that I have found.
!The protection issues are MUCH more complex that
Hi Peter,
Whenever I've had safety questions regarding Lithium batteries, I've
always found the manufacturer to be the best source of information. At
the time, I talked with Tadiran, since we were using their batteries.
Tadiran was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. After all, it's their
