BYD sealed Nickel Cadmium batteries are considered to be "dry cell" batteries and are
not subject to dangerous goods regulation for the purpose of transportation by the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT), the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA) or the International Maritime
Dangerous Goods regulations (IMDG). The only DOT requirement for shipping Nickel
Cadmium 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)." IATA requires that batteries
being transported by air must be protected from short-circuiting and protected from
movement that could lead to short-circuiting. Nickel Cadmium batteries are classified as
a D006 hazardous waste because of the presence of cadmium. This waste code is
assigned because of toxicity, not corrosiveness. These batteries do not meet the
definition of a corrosive waste.
Special requirements shall comply with local regulations.
