Section 14 - Transport Information
W arriors batteries are considered to be "Dry cell" batteries and are unregulated for
purpose of transportation by the U.S. DOT, ICAO, IATA and 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 requirement 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. 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.
