The symbol shall cover at least 3% of the surface area of the battery
main page. The symbol should not be larger than 5 x 5

The battery does not need to be marked with the symbol, if the battery is so
small to 3 per cent of the surface of the battery is less than 0.5 x 0.5
centimeter and symbol in a size of at least 1 x 1 cm
instead be placed on the battery pack.
