Marking on cylindrical lithium batteries

For cylindrical batteries, this symbol must be greater than 1.5% of the surface area. On batteries where the mark will be less than 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm, no marking is required on the battery, but still must be

4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Marking on cylindrical lithium batteries"

Do lithium-ion batteries need warning labels?

Warning labels (or marking) of these batteries are essential to ensure safe handling, operation, and disposal, thereby mitigating potential safety risks and preventing accidents. This paper examines the labeling practices of over 200 lithium-ion cells from 20 manufacturers and 6 countries and reviews changes in warning labeling from 2003 to 2023.

What is a lithium ion battery label?

Used for shipping lithium-ion batteries. This includes a battery with flames and a red-bordered label to warn of fire risk. The symbol is simplified in electrical schematics into a series of lines representing battery cells with a + and – terminal. It is typically labeled with Li-ion and voltage (e.g., 3.7V).

What are the guidelines for battery capacity marking?

The guidelines look into requirements coming out of the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC and Regulation (EU) 1103/2010 on capacity marking of portable rechargeable batteries. In addition, this document also looks into other EU legislation such as the RoHS, WEEE, Low Voltage and Medical Equipment Directives.

Should a battery be marked under a separate collection symbol?

To avoid confusion, it should not be marked under the separate collection symbol because the Batteries Directive reserves that space for chemical symbols (see § 2.2. above). The qualifier could be used with the symbol either on battery label or on the battery‟s packaging.
