Section 14 — Transportation information
Our 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.
