Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries where lithium is present in the electrolyte in ionic form, lithium—polymer batteries are also included in the category of lithium-ion batteries

The lithium battery(lithium batteries) can either remain in the vehicle if the battery(s) are protected from damage by the vehicle structure and securely attached to the vehicle, or be removed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The removed battery should not exceed 300 Wh. If the battery of the wheelchair / vehicle with lithium batteries is not removable, then the limits on the energy intensity in Wh, for the installed battery, do not apply

Battery power consumption is measured in watt-hours Wh (Wh) and is indicated by the manufacturer on the outside of the battery. The energy intensity of the battery can be calculated independently by multiplying the battery voltage in volts by the capacity in ampere-hours.: Wh = V x Ah (Wh= V x Ah)

1. battery terminals are protected from short circuits, for example, attached to the battery housing
2. battery(s) are equipped with ventilation plugs to prevent spillage, if possible
3. battery(s) or:
1. properly protected from damage by the structure of the vehicle and securely attached to the wheelchair or vehicle. Electrical circuits has to be insulated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions or
2. removed(s) from the vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions if the vehicle cannot be held in an upright position

If it is not possible to load, fasten and unload a wheelchair or a vehicle only in an upright position, or if the battery(s) in the vehicle is not properly protected, it is necessary to remove such battery(s). The removed battery(s) must be transported in a strong, rigid packaging set, while:

1. packaging kits has to be sealed, resistant to the chemical effects of the electrolyte and must be protected from tipping over by attaching to a pallet or by fastening in the cargo compartment with a fastening material such as ropes, belts or slings (the use of cargo or baggage for fixing is prohibited)
2. the battery(s) has to be protected from short circuit, must be stored in an upright position inside the packaging kit using such an amount of absorbent material that can absorb the entire volume of the electrolyte liquid and
3. such packaging kits should have the inscription BATTERIES WITH LIQUID ELECTROLYTE WITH A WHEELCHAIR) («BATTERY WET WITH WHEELCHAIR») or BATTERIES WITH LIQUID ELECTROLYTE WITH A VEHICLE) («BATTERY WET WITH MOBILITY AID»), a hazard sign «Corrosive substance» («Corrosive") and a sign of processing «Cargo space orientation»
