What is TEMU Button Battery ANSI C18.3M?

The TEMU platform requires the button battery ANSI C18.3M, which refers to a button battery that complies with the safety standard for portable primary lithium batteriesestablished by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This standard specifies requirements for lithium primary batteries (including button batteries) in terms of electrical performance, mechanical performance, environmental adaptability, and safety, ensuring the battery remains safe under normal use and potential misuse.

TEMU Platform Requirements for Button Battery ANSI C18.3M

As an e-commerce platform, TEMU places strict safety requirements on button batteries, especially for products such as children's toys and electronic devicesthat may use button batteries.

ANSI C18.3Mis one of the safety standards recognized by TEMU. Only button batteries that meet this standard can be sold on its platform.

Core Content of ANSI C18.3M Standard

1. Scope of Application

- Applicable to portable primary lithium batteries(including button batteries).

- Mainly used in consumer electronics, toys, medical devices, etc.

2. Electrical Performance Requirements

- Battery voltage, capacity, and discharge performancemust meet nominal values.

- Verified through discharge tests, load tests, and other methods.

3. Mechanical Performance Requirements

- Batteries must pass impact, vibration, and compression teststo ensure no leakage, rupture, or explosionunder mechanical stress.

4. Environmental Adaptability Requirements

- Batteries must pass high-temperature, low-temperature, and temperature cycling teststo ensure stability under different environmental conditions.

5. Safety Requirements

- Batteries must pass short-circuit, overcharge, and forced discharge teststo prevent danger in abnormal situations.

- Prevents overheating, fire, or explosion.

6. Labeling and Packaging Requirements

- Batteries must clearly indicate voltage, capacity, polarity, etc.

- Packaging must meet transportation safety requirementsto prevent short circuits or damage.

Why TEMU Requires ANSI C18.3M

Safety:

- Improperly designed or manufactured button batteries can cause short circuits, overheating, leakage, or even explosion.

- Particularly dangerous if children accidentally swallowthe batteries.

- ANSI C18.3M ensures battery safety through rigorous testing.

Compliance:

- Batteries meeting ANSI C18.3M comply with U.S. market safety regulations, reducing legal risks for the platform and sellers.

Consumer Trust:

- Batteries meeting international standards are more likely to gain consumer trustand enhance product competitiveness.

How to Ensure Button Batteries Comply with ANSI C18.3M

1. Choose compliant suppliers:

- Purchase from battery manufacturers certified to ANSI C18.3M.

2. Provide test reports:

- Submit ANSI C18.3M test reportsissued by third-party labs (e.g., JJR) to TEMU, proving compliance.

3. Proper labeling and packaging:

- Ensure clear battery labelingand packaging that meets transportation and safety requirements.

The TEMU platform requires button batteries to comply with ANSI C18.3M, mainly to ensure battery safety and regulatory compliance. Sellers must ensure products pass relevant tests and provide certification reports to avoid delisting or legal risks.
