Document Number: Revision: 00 Page 4 of 4
Section XIV – Transportation Information
NEW LEADER 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) 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) regulate them for ocean transportation under Special Provision 304
which says : Batteries, dry, containing corrosive electrolyte which will not flow out of the battery if
the battery case is cracked are not subject to the provision of this Code provided the batteries are
securely packed and protected against short-circuits. Example of such batteries are :
alkali-manganese, zinc-carbon, nickel metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries.
Non-dangerous goods. Such battery have been packed in inner packaging in such a manner as to
effectively prevent short circuit and movement that could lead to short circuit.
