14. Transportation/Shipping Information
US DOT
All batteries are not subject to the requirements of the Department of Transportation (DOT) subchapter C, Hazardous Material
Regulations since each battery meets the exceptions under 173.185 (b). The batteries are exempted from the US DOT
regulations as long as they are separated to prevent short circuits and packed in strong packing for conditions normally
encountered in transportation.
ICAO and IATA
All batteries are regulated as Hazardous Material by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO),the International Air
Transport Association (IATA) and International Maritime Dangerous Goods Regulations (IMDG). The only DOT requirement for
shipping these batteries is special provision 130 which states: “Batteries, dry are not subject.
They must be transported according to Section 38.3 of the Fifth Revised Edition Amendment 2 of the Recommendations on
the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Test and Criteria (ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.5/Amend.2/Section 38.3) and Drop test
of SectionII of Packing Instructions 968~970 of 56th DGR Manual of IATA .
IMO
All batteries are regulated as Hazardous Material by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) when transporting more
than 24 batteries or 12 batteries in a single package. These must be transported according to the requirement in Special
Provisions “188” and “230”.
ADR, RID
All batteries are regulated as Hazardous Material by the ADR (road) and RID (rail) when transporting more than 24 batteries or
12 batteries in a single package. These must be transported according to the requirement in Special Provisions “188” and
“230”.
Batteries are as per IMDG SP:188 and tested as NON DG.
Package complies with the special provision 188 of IMDG CODE(Amdt.36-12)2012 Edition .
BUILDING OF NEW BATTERY PACK
If you build any of lithium batteries into battery pack, you must assure that they are being tested in accordance
15. Disposal Considerations
Lithium batteries are best disposed of as a non-hazardous waste when fully or mostly sidchargeed. Trhe Federal
Environmental Protectuin Angency(EPA) do not list Lithium as a hazardous waste. However, if waster lithium batteries are still
fully charged or only partially discharged, they can be considered a reactive hazardous waste because of significant amount of
unreacted lithium in the battery. The battery must be neuttralized through an approved secondary treatment facility prior to
disposal as a hazardous waste. Secondary treatment centers receive these batteries as manifeted hazardous waste under
code”D003-reactive.” Use a professional disposal firm for disposal of mass quantities of undischarged lithium batteries. DO
NOT INCINERATE or subject battery cells to temperatures in excess of 212°F. Such treatment can cause cell rupture.
