Is BIS certification mandatory for Li-po batteries in India?

Yes, IS 16046 (Part 2) is mandatory for lithium rechargeable batteries.

What is the difference between Li-ion and Li-po?

Li-po (Lithium Polymer) uses a solid or gel-like electrolyte, allowing for flexible pouch shapes and higher energy density than traditional Li-ion cylindrical cells.

Can Hanery batteries be shipped to India with BIS?

Yes, we work with Indian clients to provide the necessary documentation and testing samples required for local BIS registration.

Why do drones need Lithium Polymer batteries?

Drones require very high discharge rates (C-rate) and minimal weight, both of which are core strengths of Li-po pouch cells.

What is the current lead time for shipping to Indian ports?

Ocean freight typically takes 25–35 days from Shenzhen to Nhava Sheva or Chennai, while air freight takes 5–8 days for urgent samples.

Do Indian manufacturers produce Li-po cells?

Most currently assemble packs. Cell manufacturing is in its nascent stage in India, with gigafactories currently under construction.

What is a Battery Management System (BMS)?

It is the electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery by protecting it from operating outside its safe operating area.

Are Li-po batteries safe for use in hot Indian climates?

Yes, if they are high-quality cells with a robust BMS that includes temperature cut-offs.

What is UN38.3 certification?

It is a mandatory safety standard for the international transport of lithium batteries.

Can I customize the shape of a Li-po battery?

Yes, at the factory level (like Hanery), we can customize dimensions to fit your specific device footprint.
