Shipping Requirements
Warning! Electrical fire hazard—protect against shorting.
Terminals can short circuit and cause a fire if not insulated during shipping.
Requirements for shipping batteries:
• Batteries must be labeled "NONSPILLABLE" during shipping. Follow all federal shipping
regulations. See CFR 49 Parts 171 through 180, available online at www.gpoaccess.gov
• Batteries must have short circuit protection during shipping. Exposed terminals, connectors, or
lead wires must be insulated with a durable inert material to prevent exposure during shipping.
Failure to comply with these requirements can cause a fire during shipping and
