If a piece of equipment requires 3 cells, how many cells may be included in one Section II package?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 6

Answer: (C)

Section II packaging is for equipment that has batteries installed, and there’s a limit on how many cells can be included in that package. The rule allows the number of cells required by the equipment plus up to two additional cells, with a hard cap of five cells per Section II package. So, if the equipment needs three cells, you may include up to five cells in one Section II package. Including six would go beyond the allowed limit.
