Section XIV – Transportation Information
GP batteries are considered to be “Dry cell” batteries and are unregulated for purposes of transportation by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT),
International Civil Aviation Administration (ICAO), International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations 60th edition 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 to the requirements of this subchapter only when they are offered for transportation in a manner that prevents the
dangerous evolution of heat (For example, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals). The only requirements for shipping these batteries by ICAO
and IATA is Special Provision A123 which states: "An electrical battery or battery powered device having the potential of dangerous evolutions of heat
that is not prepared so as to prevent a short-circuit ( e.g. in the case of batteries, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals; or in the case of
equipment, by disconnection of the battery and protection of exposed terminals) is forbidden from transportation." The international Maritime Dangerous
Goods Code (IMDG) does not regulate such type of batteries. IMDG only regulate those batteries containing dry potassium hydroxide for ocean
transportation under Special Provision 304 which says : “This entry may only be used for the transport of non-activated batteries which contain dry
potassium hydroxide and which are intended to be activated prior to use by the addition of an appropriate amount of water to the individual cells.” The
Batteries, dry, do not containing dry potassium hydroxide are not subject to the provision of this Code provided the batteries are securely packed and
protected against short-circuits. Example of such batteries is: alkali-manganese, zinc-carbon, and nickel-cadmium batteries.
Non-dangerous goods.
Such battery has been packed in inner packaging in such a manner as to effectively prevent short circuit and movement that could lead to short circuit.
