Lithium Titanate Rechargeable Battery Products

The SLB Series of small lithium-titanate-oxide rechargeable batteries offers the features of an LTO battery in a small package suitable for space-constrained applications, making it ideal for use in the Internet of Things (IoT) market.

Using Toshiba Corporation’s SCiB™ rechargeable battery technology, the SLB Series has an increased temperature range from -30°C to 80°C and a much longer lifespan than other rechargeable batteries, lasting over 25,000 charge/discharge cycles. The active material for the negative electrode is lithium titanate oxide (LTO), which provides greater thermal stability than the carbon-based materials traditionally used in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. This helps reduce the risk of fire or explosion, even in the case of a forced internal short circuit. These batteries have characteristics of both re‐chargeable Li‐ion batteries and EDLCs, making them viable alternatives in applications using either EDLCs or rechargeable batteries. 
 

Precautions When Transporting Small Lithium Titanate Rechargeable Batteries

Small Lithium-Titanate Rechargeable Batteries are classified as Class 9 Dangerous Goods by UN Recommendations and are given UN number UN3480.

When transporting lithium-titanate batteries, in addition to the requirements of the United Nations recommendations, all requirements in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA-DGR) and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Regulations (IMDG-Code) must be met.

  • According to the classification of transportation regulations, Small Lithium-Titanate Rechargeable Batteries are classified as lithium-ion batteries. Small Lithium-Titanate Rechargeable Batteries and their shipping packaging meet the UN Manual of Test and Criteria requirements, Part III, Subsection 38.3.
  • The packaging specifications of Small Lithium-Titanate Rechargeable Batteries meet the UN Recommendations’ requirements, and the regulations mentioned above. If you want to use the packaging as it was shipped from NICHICON and need transportation certificates, please contact the sales office where the parts were purchased.
  • Please note that the packaging tests and certificates will need to be carried out by yourself if you repackage using your packing material.
  • Each shipping company may have its own regulation; please check with the shipping company you are using for details before shipping.
