π¨ Your lithium battery has a UN38.3 report. But is it actually compliant for shipment?
For battery buyers and OEMs, having a UN38.3 test report is only the starting point.
A common sourcing mistake is receiving a UN38.3 document that belongs to an older battery revision, different model, or different cell configuration.
That can lead to:
β Shipment rejection
β Customs delays
β Retesting costs
β Missed delivery schedules
