Lithium Batteries
• Ubiquitous• The most important
innovation for mobile power • Outstanding performance
for portable power for such a light weight article.
+ High Energy Output
+ Light Weight
+ No “Memory”
Effects
+ Relatively Long Cycle

What’s the
TYPE of LITHIUM BATTERY
?
• Lithium metal/alloy• Primary (non-rechargeable)
batteries • Li metal or Li compounds as an
anode. • Used to power devices such as
watches, calculators, cameras, temperature data loggers;
• Lithium Ion/polymer Battery• Secondary (rechargeable)
battery • Used in consumer electronics,
mobile telephones, laptop, computers, etc.

Risk in Air Transport
Lithium Battery related incidents• UPS Boeing-747 September 2010
Fire in the main deck and emergency landingPilots killedSuspected origin: large shipment of
rechargeable lithium batteries
Risk in Air Transport
11
Such Risk especially on airplanes has prompted increased regulation of Li Battery shipment
12
The rules have changed
The Regulation for Air Transport
• Cells and Batteries defined by manufacturers to be defective for safety reasons or that have been damaged or that have potential of producing dangerous evolution of heat, fire or short circuit are forbidden for transport
• Waste batteries and batteries being shipped for recycling or disposal are forbidden for air transport unless approved by competent authorities
• Lithium metal batteries are likely to be forbidden for carriage on passenger aircraft
• Exempt from Regulation depends on Wh rating for Li-Ion cell/batteries or grams of Lithium content in Li Metal cells/batteries

LITHIUM BATTERIES
For lithium METAL and ION cells and batteries, packed as per Section IB must be declared the NET quantity and not the Gross weight.
21
LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES
A201—is a new special provision assigned against UN 3090 Lithium metal batteries to identify that lithium metal batteries may be carried on a passenger aircraft subject to specific limitations on the size and quantity of lithium metal batteries in a package and per consignment. The detail of these limitations are set out in the Supplement to the ICAO Technical Instructions.
