International Transport Regulations 14 Lithium metal batteries, also including lithium metal alloys, consists of cells and batteries containing lithium in the metallic form. They are used to power small consumer electrical appliances and devices such as watches, cameras, calculators etc. They can also be assembled into large batteries e.g. in the oil rig drilling heads. Lithium ion batteries including lithium ion polymer battery consists of cells and batteries containing lithium in the ionic form. They are used in consumer electronics, such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets and MP3 players. In the larger sizes they are being used to power cordless power tools, e-bikes, electric or hybrid electric vehicles, energy storage and many other industrial applications. The two groups of Lithium Batteries, the Lithium-Metal and the Lithium-Ion show different hazards and therefore are assigned to two different entries in the UN Dangerous Goods Regulations. The Regulations take also into consideration the transport and packaging requirements of such batteries installed in equipment or packed with equipment: UN 3090 LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES UN 3091 LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES CONTAINED IN EQUIPMENT UN 3091 LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT UN 3480 LITHIUM ION BATTERIES UN 3481 LITHIUM ION BATTERIES CONTAINED IN EQUIPMENT UN 3481 LITHIUM ION BATTERIES PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT
