product Sealed Secondary Cells/Batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes for use in portable applications part 2 lithium systems
certification BIS CRS Registration
Standard IS 16046:2018
description Sealed secondary cells or batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes, particularly those in the lithium system, have ushered in a new era of portable power storage solutions. Lithium-based batteries, including Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) and Lithium-Polymer (LiPo), have become the go-to choice for numerous portable applications due to their impressive energy density, lightweight design, and long cycle life. These batteries have powered the proliferation of modern consumer electronics, from smartphones and laptops to drones and electric vehicles. They exhibit a relatively low self-discharge rate, ensuring that stored energy remains available for extended periods when not in use. The sealed construction enhances safety and durability while eliminating the risk of electrolyte leakage. Lithium-based sealed secondary cells have set new industry standards for energy efficiency and performance, enabling the portability and longevity of today's cutting-edge technologies. IS 16046:2018 is an Indian Standard that specifically addresses sealed secondary cells or batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes for use in portable applications, focusing on lithium systems. These standards help reduce the risk of battery-related incidents, such as fires or explosions, ensuring the safety of users. Manufacturers are often required to comply with these standards to meet regulatory requirements and ensure their products are legally compliant and safe for consumers.
