Lithium-based batteries are divided into lithium batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Mobile phones and laptops use lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly known as lithium batteries. Batteries generally use materials containing lithium as electrodes and are representatives of modern high-performance batteries. Real lithium batteries are rarely used in daily electronic products due to their high risk. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are the most widely used batteries in modern digital products, but they are relatively delicate. Frequent battery explosion accidents occurred in a certain brand of mobile phones, leading many civil aviation departments to issue "blocking orders" on them. Whether lithium-ion batteries can meet standard requirements has attracted great attention from battery manufacturers and end users. LCS testing provides enterprises with many certification and testing services covering battery UN testing and identification, battery CQC certification, battery CB certification, battery UL certification, battery PSE certification, battery CE certification, GB 31241, battery performance testing, etc.
Lithium-ion battery standards

"Safety Requirements for Lithium-Ion Cells and Battery Packs for Portable Electronic Products" GB 31241-2014
This standard will be mandatory from August 1, 2015;
After the standard is implemented, all lithium battery products must comply with the GB31241 standard;
After the new version of the national standard is enforced, it is expected to be subject to increasingly strict supervision. National sampling, provincial sampling, and local sampling will adopt the new national standard requirements in the new sampling plan.
