Lithium Ion batteries contained in equipment are categorized as which UN and packing instruction?

• A. UN3481, P.I. 967
• B. UN3481, P.I. 966
• C. UN3482, P.I. 966
• D. UN3482, P.I. 967

Answer: (A)

The key idea is how lithium ion batteries inside devices are classified for shipping. When a lithium ion battery is contained in equipment, it is assigned UN 3481, and the packing instruction that applies specifically to batteries contained in equipment is 967. This pairing is the correct one because it matches the scenario of the battery being installed in the device rather than shipped separately. The other options mix the wrong UN number or the wrong packing instruction for this situation, or reference a different battery category. If the battery were treated differently (for example, shipped standalone), a different UN number and packing instruction would apply.
