Definition of Total Net Lithium Content of Cell Or Battery

Total Net Lithium Content of a Cell or Battery Refers to the Actual Lithium

 Content Contained Inside That Battery.

When considering ‘lithium content’, this does not necessarily mean how much lithium metal is in the battery.  Technological advances have come up with new alloys to substitute for lithium, making them a ‘lithium equivalent’, therefore falling under the same rules and guidelines as lithium.

Manual Calculation  

The amount of lithium (or lithium equivalent) content in a battery or battery pack can be worked out as 0.3 x amp hour capacity. So a 2Ah battery has 0.6 grams of lithium (2 x 0.3) and a typical laptop battery pack with eight 2Ah cells has 4.8 grams (8 units x (0.3 x 2Ah)
