Question

you are packing a mobile phone containing a lithium ion battery and you get a prompt on the screen to put a lithium ion label on the box. You have run out of such labels and have only lithium metal labels left. what should you do?

Answer 1

Do not use such labels because they may be misleading and are unethical.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note, there is a big difference in design between the two terms or labels. Lithium metal batteries are non-rechargeable batteries. In other words, they cannot be recharged after they run down. For example, most watches, calculators, or car keys are made of lithium metal batteries.

While Lithium-ion batteries (or Li-ion batteries) are rechargeable batteries , and they are commonly used by mobile phones, laptops, and other gadgets.

Therefore, with such differences in mind, it may be very misleading when someone in possession of the mobile phone sees the lithium metal labels; then thinks the battery is non-rechargeable.
