To simplify the collection and recycling or reprocessing process, spent Lead Acid batteries must not be
mixed with other batteries. By no means may the electrolyte (diluted sulphuric acid) be emptied in an
inexpert manner. This process is to be carried out by the processing companies only.
SECTION 14: Transport Information
All CSB batteries are identified as “Battery, Electric Storage, Wet, Nonspillable” when transported by air,
sea or by land transportation. The battery(s) must be identified as above on the Bill of Lading and properly
packaged with their terminals protected from short circuit. NA or UN numbers do not apply. CSB battery(s)
warning label identifies each battery as NONSPILLABLE.
CSB seal lead-acid batteries are classified as “Nonspillable” for the purpose of transportation by DOT,
and IATA/ICAO as result of passing the Vibration and Pressure Differential Test described in DOT [49
CFR 173.159(f)] and IATA/ICAO [Special Provision A67]. CSB seal lead-acid batteries can be safely
transported on deck, or under deck stored on either a passenger or cargo vessel as result of passing the
Vibration and Pressure Differential Tests as described in the IMDG regulations (Special Article 238).
To transport these batteries as “Nonspillable” they must be shipped in a condition that would protect them
from short-circuits and be securely packaged so as to withstand conditions normal to transportation by a
consumer, in or out of a device, they are unregulated thus requiring no additional special handling or
packaging.
For all modes of transportation, each battery and outer package is labeled “NON-SPILLABLE” per
49 CFR 173.159(f). If you repackage our batteries either as batteries or as a component of
another product you must label the outer package “NON-SPILLABLE” per 49 CFR 173.159(f).
SECTION 15: Regulatory Information

to be marked by a crossed out dust bin with the chemical symbol for lead shown below, together with the
ISO return/recycling symbol. If other countries or the region have time in addition the stipulation must
observe.
