Greeting everyone, Can anyone advice on the requirement for Li-ion batteries?
We are currently designing a prototable device which has Li-ion batteries built within. The battery is being charged via AC-to-DC adaptor. We are purchasing the Li-ion batteries from suppliers. There will be safety circuitry for overcharging the batteries, as well as overvoltage and opposite polarity protection. As this is our first time handling Li-ion batteries, any advice from the group would be appreciated 1) What standards must these Li-ion batteries needs to comply before we purchase them? UL2054 or UL1642 standards or both ? What about European standards ? 2) What marks needs to be on the batteries? And which standard do these marks calls? 3) What are the compliance documents that we need to request from the supplier? A bit tricky question is 4) We might want the supplier to put our company name on the battery, what can we do (or request from the supplier) to protect ourself on liability issue?
