Structure
Polymer
Battery charging and discharging occur through the migration of lithium ions between the cathodes and anodes and the exchange of
electrons through doping and dedoping. More specifically, during charging lithium is dedoped from cathodes consisting of a lithiumcontaining compound, and the interlayers of carbon in anodes are doped with lithium. Conversely, during discharge lithium is dedoped from
between the carbon layers in anodes, and the compound layers in cathodes are doped with lithium. Reactions occurring in lithium ion
rechargeable batteries employing LiCoO2(lithium cobalt oxide) in cathodes and carbon in anodes are shown in the figure below.

By means of the initial charging, which takes place during battery manufacturing, lithium ions migrate from the lithium compound of the
cathode to the carbon material of the anode.

Handling Precautions
Remarks for Appropriate Usage
Lithium Ion Battery Transport Regulations
• Temperature
Charge
Lithium ion batteries containing no more than
1.5g/cell and 8g/battery pack of lithium can be treated
as "non-dangerous goods" under the United Nations
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods, Special Provision 188, provided that the
packaging is strong and prevents the products from
short-circuiting.
With regard to air transport, the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) Special Provision A45
accepts the above UN Recommendation as is; further,
the International Air Transport Association
(IATA) adopts ICAO Provision A45. In addition, the
regulations of the US Department of Transportation
(DOT) for land, sea and air transportation are based on
the UN Recommendations.
All of Sony's lithium ion cells and most* of its lithium
ion battery packs fulfill the conditions of the UN
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods, Special Provision 188 (ICAO Special Provision
A45) and can be treated as "non-dangerous goods."
The mass of lithium in a lithium ion battery is
calculated as follows;
(a) For the cell: (Ah of a cell) x (0.3g/Ah)
(b) For the battery pack: (Ah of a cell) x (number of
cells used in the pack) x (0.3g/Ah)
(E.g., the amount of lithium in a pack using six 18650
(2Ah) cells = 2Ah x 6 x 0.3g/Ah = 3.6g.)
Safety Instructions for Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery
WARNING
PRECAUTIONS
• Keep away from infants. If infant happens to
swallow the battery, consult a doctor immediately.
• In case of eye contact with the battery electrolyte,
immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water, and
consult a doctor.
• In case the battery electrolyte happen to come into
mouth, gargle well enough and consult a doctor
immediately.
• Do not heat or disposed in fire or water. Do not
modify or disassemble the battery. It may damage
the gasket, and may cause ignition, heating, leakage
or explosion.
• Keep away from fire if battery has leakage or odor to
prevent fire hazard.
• Assure the charge voltage is controlled within 4.2±
0.05V. Inappropriate charge voltage may cause
permanent deterioration of the battery performance,
or swelling, leakage, ignition or explosion.
• Do not overdischarge the battery lower than 0V.
It may lead to reversed polarity and cause ignition,
heating, leakage or explosion.
• Do not short-circuit positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals. Keep away from metal or other
conductive materials. Jumbling the batteries of
direct contact with positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals and metal or other conductive materials
may cause short-circuit.
• Do not solder the battery directly. Excessive heating
may cause deformation of the battery components
such as the gasket, which may lead to the battery
swelling, leakage, explosion or ignition.
• When the battery is stored or disposed, isolate
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery
to avoid those terminals touch each other.
• Insert the battery with positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals correctly oriented.
• Do not put the battery into microwave oven or
drying machine.
• Do not drop, apply excessive damage or deform the
battery.
• Do not mix the used battery together with the new
battery or different type of batteries.
• Consult the sales representative, when series or
parallel connection of several batteries is required.
• For transportation, observe the package instruction
to be specified by the manufacturer. Assure not to
apply excessive vibration or not to drop the batteries
packaged.
• Do not store the battery in high temperature and
high humidity location and where the battery is
exposed to sunlight to avoid performance
deterioration, swelling or leakage of the battery.

Protection circuit should have three
functions specified below.
1. Over-charge Protection :
Should be within a range of 4.25V/cell ~ 4.4V/cell.
2. Over-discharge Protection :
Should be within a range of 2.0V/cell ~ 2.5V/cell.
Leak current should be controlled less
than 5µA.
3. Over-current Protection :
Should operate at less than approx. 3C.
*As for the details of specific models, consult the
sales representative.
