IEC 60950 clause 1.7.15 says:
"IF an equipment is provided with a replaceable battery and IF
replacement by an incorrect type could result in an explosion (e.g. with
some lithium batteries), the following applies:"
Since lithium replacements are available for essentially all battery
sizes, that implies there is no IF. All replaceable batteries must carry
this label. What's more it applies to standard replaceable batteries
like AA, C, D even if there is no charger involved unless you can
somehow prove all available lithium batteries of the size are explosion
proof. Am I correct?
