Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the UN38.3 certification mean for the Air Inflator V3?
-
UN38.3 is the international standard that all lithium-ion batteries must pass before they can be transported by air, road, sea, or rail. It consists of eight specific tests — altitude simulation, thermal, vibration, shock, external short circuit, impact/crush, overcharge, and forced discharge. The Air Inflator V3 battery pack passed all eight tests, confirming it is safe for international transport.
- Is the Air Inflator V3 battery restricted for air transport?
-
No. The report issued by DGM China (Report No. AEKSZ202506301093ZP760001, dated 2025-06-30) classifies the Air Inflator V3 battery pack as Not Restricted under ADR 2025 Special Provision 188. This is because the battery’s watt-hour rating (28.86Wh) is well below the 100Wh threshold for contained equipment batteries, and all UN38.3 test criteria are satisfied.
