Which UN and packing instruction corresponds to lithium ion batteries packed with equipment?

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

Answer: (A)

When shipping lithium ion batteries with equipment, the key is matching the correct UN number to the exact packaging situation. The UN number identifies the battery type and how it’s being shipped, while the packing instruction provides the specific packaging rules. For lithium ion batteries packed with equipment (not installed inside the device), the correct pairing is UN 3481 with Packing Instruction 966. UN 3481 covers lithium ion batteries that are either contained in equipment or packed with equipment, and 966 specifies the requirements for batteries packed with equipment. The alternative packaging instruction 967 is used when the batteries are contained in equipment (i.e., installed inside the device). The UN 3482 designation does not apply to this scenario.
