Also included within lithium- ion batteries are lithium polymer batteries. “Lit ium battery”: in this manual the term "lithium battery" covers all cells and batteries containing lithium in any form. “Lithium content” means the mass of lithium in the anode of a lithium metal or lithium alloy cell "Manual of Tests and Criteria" mean the Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, published by the United Nations. “Offer for transport” means, for dangerous goods not in transport, to select or allow the selection of a carrier to transport the dangerous goods, to prepare or allow the preparation of the dangerous goods so that a carrier can take possession of them for transport or to allow a carrier to take possession of the dangerous goods for transport “Outer packaging” means a container that is not in direct contact with the dangerous goods, which contains one or more inner packaging or an inner receptacle. “Overpack” means an enclosure that is used by a single consignor to consolidate one or more small means of containment for ease of handling but that is not a minimum required means of containment.
