14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION
The GrePow rechargeable Ni-MH 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
Metal Hydride 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. 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 provisions of this Code provided
the batteries are securely packed and protected against short-circuits. Examples of such batteries are:
alkali-managanese, zinc carbon,nickel metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries.”
