Frequently Asked Questions

What is UN38.3 certification and why is it required for the L2 flashlight?

UN38.3 certification is a mandatory safety testing standard for lithium batteries transported by air. The L2 Tactical Flashlight contains a lithium-ion battery (9.62Wh), which requires UN38.3 certification to ensure it can be safely transported by aircraft. This certification proves the battery has passed rigorous safety tests including altitude simulation, thermal, vibration, shock, and short circuit testing.

Is the L2 flashlight safe for air travel and shipping?

Yes, the L2 flashlight is fully certified for air transport under IATA regulations. With a watt-hour rating of 9.62Wh, it falls well below the 100Wh limit for equipment containing lithium-ion batteries and meets all UN38.3 safety requirements. The product is classified as ‘lithium-ion battery contained in equipment’ and complies with proper packaging and marking standards for air shipment.

What does the 9.62Wh rating mean for the L2 flashlight battery?

The 9.62Wh (watt-hour) rating indicates the energy capacity of the lithium-ion battery in the L2 flashlight. This is calculated from the battery’s voltage (3.7V) and capacity (2600mAh). This rating is important for air transport regulations – batteries under 100Wh are generally permitted with proper documentation, and the L2’s 9.62Wh rating is well within safe limits for both passenger and cargo aircraft transport.

How long is this UN38.3 certification valid for the L2 flashlight?

This UN38.3 certification (Report No. PEKSZ202505304021ZP000001) issued on May 30, 2025, is valid through the year in which the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 66th Edition (2025) remains effective. Typically, certifications are renewed annually to align with updated IATA regulations. The certificate is only valid in its original form and cannot be duplicated or modified without written approval from the issuing laboratory, DGM China.
