Section 13 - Disposal Condition
The battery may be regulated by national or local regulation. Please follow the instructions of proper regulation. As electric capacity is
left in a discarded battery and it comes into contact with other metals, it could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, so
make sure to cover the (+) and (-) terminals with friction tape or some other insulator before disposal.
Section 14 - Transportation Information
Shipping Name (UN Number) Lithium metal batteries (UN3090)
Lithium metal batteries packed with equipment (UN3091)
Lithium metal batteries contained in equipment (UN3091)
Hazard Classification Class 9 (Miscellaneous)
These regulations are based on the UN Recommendations. The UN recommendation (17th revised edition) requires that cells and
batteries shall be manufactured under a quality management program and this requirement is adopted by IMDG code and ICAO/IATA
DGR. As Maxell factories have been certified for the ISO 9001, we meet this requirement.
Each special provision provides specifications on exceptions and packaging for lithium metal cells and batteries shipping.
1) Air transportation: In IATA regulations (54th Edition), the packing requirements for the cells and batteries transport is specified in PI
968, for the cells and batteries with equipment in PI 969, and for the cells and batteries installed in the equipment in PI 970. Because
the content of lithium in our cell of ER3S is less than 0.3g, this can be transported according to Section II (excepted from regulation) of
PI 968, 969, and 970.
Other our cells (ER3, ER17/33, ER6, ER6C, ER17/50, ER18/50) which each lithium content is more than 0.3g but less than 1.0g, they
can be transported according to Section IB (class 9 dangerous goods) of PI 968 or Section II (excepted from regulation) of PI 969 and
970.
2) Marine transportation: The all cells can be transported as “Non Dangerous Goods” according to SP188 of IMO-IMDG Code (2010
Edition) because the content of lithium in all our ER cells is less than 1.0g.
Please confirm the lithium content when transport the battery.
