General questions about batteries
The first rough distinction concerns the type of battery. Is it lithium-ion cells or batteries (1), lithium-metal cells or batteries (2) or lithium hybrid cells or batteries (3).
The following is crucial:
- the nominal energy in watt hours (Wh)
From a nominal energy value of more than 100 Wh, batteries are classified as class 9 hazardous goods and are subject to the provisions of the ADR. - the lithium content in grams
The limit here is 2g per battery.
Smartphone battery approx. 0.2-0.3g, AA lithium battery approx. 1g, lithium button cells (car keys) or photo batteries e.g. CR2 - both the nominal energy in Wh and the lithium content in grams
