What This Accessibility Statement Covers
This Accessibility Statement applies to public pages on LithiumBattery.info, including informational guides, calculator pages, policy pages, and site navigation that we control. Its purpose is to explain our accessibility approach in plain language, identify the standard we use as a reference, describe known uncertainty, and give visitors a practical way to report barriers.
Accessibility is not a one-time checkbox. A page can be readable in one browser yet still create difficulty with another browser, zoom level, keyboard workflow, screen reader, speech input tool, or mobile device. New content and WordPress changes can also introduce problems. For that reason, this Accessibility Statement focuses on ongoing practices and feedback rather than making a blanket promise about every possible technology combination.
Accessibility Statement and the WCAG 2.2 Reference
LithiumBattery.info uses the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) overview and WCAG 2.2 as primary reference material for accessibility work. WCAG organizes accessibility around content that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, with testable success criteria at Levels A, AA, and AAA.
Our working target is to improve pages toward relevant WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criteria where they apply to the site. That target helps guide decisions about keyboard focus, text alternatives when media is present, page structure, labels, contrast, responsive behavior, error communication, and interaction design. The W3C guidance on developing accessibility statements also recommends explaining commitments, standards, feedback routes, limitations, and measures taken.
Using WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a reference is not the same as passing a formal audit or making a conformance claim. We have not been given a complete independent audit for this site, so this page does not state that LithiumBattery.info fully or partially conforms to WCAG at a certified level.
Conformance Status: Not Formally Assessed
This Accessibility Statement does not claim verified WCAG conformance. The site is being developed with accessibility-aware practices, but no complete assessment report was supplied that would justify labeling the whole site fully conformant or partially conformant. The most accurate status for this statement is therefore that formal conformance has not been established.
The Accessibility Statement uses that cautious wording because accessibility can only be evaluated against actual pages and user flows. A strong semantic template can still contain a mislabeled control; a readable article can still link to an inaccessible external document; and a calculator can work visually while presenting unclear feedback to assistive technology. We prefer a transparent description of our current approach over a score or certification we cannot substantiate.
Accessibility Features We Aim to Use
The site's current design system emphasizes semantic HTML, visible headings, text-based navigation, readable line length, responsive layouts, and focus indicators. Where buttons, form controls, tables, accordions, or calculator results appear, the goal is to use native elements and visible text so core information is available without relying on images, hover states, or color alone.
| Area | Design approach | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Headings | Logical H1, H2, and H3 hierarchy | Supports page scanning and assistive navigation |
| Links | Descriptive visible link text | Makes destinations easier to understand out of context |
| Keyboard | Native links, buttons, form fields, and visible focus styling | Supports use without a pointing device |
| Forms | Visible labels, units, hints, and error text | Clarifies what information a control expects |
| Responsive layout | Flexible grids and mobile breakpoints | Improves reflow on narrow screens and zoomed views |
| Motion | Reduced transitions when reduced-motion preferences are requested | Limits unnecessary animation for sensitive users |
The Accessibility Statement also reflects practices that can help people who are temporarily injured, using a small screen, navigating in bright light, working with a slow connection, or simply prefer straightforward interfaces. The About page explains the site's broader educational purpose, while the calculator directory and guide directory provide the main content areas covered by this approach.
Accessibility Statement for Calculators and Interactive Tools
Calculator pages are a priority because they combine labels, numeric inputs, validation, buttons, and changing results. We aim to keep essential instructions and explanatory content in the initial HTML, pair inputs with visible labels, identify units in text, prevent accidental page reloads, and provide result values in text rather than graphical output alone. Validation should explain what needs correction instead of communicating failure only through color.
Some calculators may still behave differently across assistive technology and browser combinations. If a control cannot be operated, a result is not announced or understandable, or a focus position becomes confusing, please report the exact calculator and step that failed. You can also use the Contact Us page to send feedback.
Browsers, Zoom, and Assistive Technology
We design for modern standards-based browsers and responsive layouts rather than one specific browser or device. Visitors may use browser zoom, text enlargement, keyboard navigation, screen readers, voice input, switch devices, or operating-system accessibility settings. Because combinations vary widely, we do not claim that every feature has been tested with every assistive technology.
If a page becomes unusable at your preferred zoom level or with your assistive technology, the most useful report includes the page address, browser, device or operating system, assistive technology if you are comfortable sharing it, and a short description of what you were trying to do. That detail helps distinguish a content issue from a browser or integration problem.
Known Limitations and Areas for Improvement
No formal audit results were supplied for this Accessibility Statement, so we cannot provide a verified list of every remaining barrier. Legacy content, calculator interactions, externally hosted resources, browser-specific behavior, and future WordPress or plugin changes may introduce accessibility issues even when the underlying template follows accessible patterns.
External websites and documents are outside our direct control. We link to manufacturers, standards bodies, regulators, and other references when they are useful, but their accessibility may differ from LithiumBattery.info. If an external source is difficult to use, contact the organization that publishes it when possible, and tell us if a different accessible reference would meet the same informational need.
Please do not assume the problem is intentional or already known. Report the page and the task you could not complete. We can then review the specific issue instead of relying on a general accessibility score.
Accessibility Feedback and Contact
We welcome accessibility feedback about LithiumBattery.info. If you cannot access content, operate a calculator, understand a form, follow keyboard focus, or complete another site task, email hello@lithiumbattery.info or use the Contact Us page. Include only the information needed to explain the barrier.
Helpful details include the page URL, what you expected to do, what happened instead, and any relevant browser or assistive technology information you choose to provide. Do not send passwords, payment information, account secrets, or unnecessary sensitive personal information. Our Privacy Policy explains the site's approach to personal information and privacy-related questions.
Review, Updates, and Related Policies
This Accessibility Statement should be reviewed when meaningful design, WordPress, Elementor, calculator, navigation, or policy changes occur. Accessibility improvements are most useful when they are incorporated during normal content work rather than postponed until a single audit. Feedback can also identify barriers that automated checks do not reveal.
Accessibility does not replace the site's other terms. The Terms of Service describes site use, and the Legal Disclaimer explains the limits of educational battery information and calculator estimates. Those pages remain separate from this Accessibility Statement so each policy can address its own purpose clearly.
