How should a lithium battery pack be shipped?
Typically, lithium battery packs should be shipped at a state of charge about 30% to minimize the risk of thermal runaway. Terminal Protection: Cover battery terminals with insulating tape or use terminal caps to prevent accidental short-circuiting. 4. Handling and Storage
What are the requirements for packaging a lithium battery?
* The outer packaging must be a strong rigid outer package that is capable of withstanding a 1.2 meter drop test without damage to the cells or batteries, without shifting that would allow battery-to-battery contact, and without release of the contents of the package. • For packages with lithium cells or batteries contained in equipment:
Do lithium ion batteries need hazard communication?
• Per special provision 181 in § 172.102, a package containing both lithium ion and lithium metal batteries must include hazard communication for both battery types (See Guide 07 for Lithium Metal Battery hazard communication requirements).
Do lithium batteries need a shipper's Dangerous Goods Declaration?
In addition, a Shipper's Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD) is generally required when shipping fully regulated lithium batteries, such as those not meeting exemption criteria. However, the need for a DGD depends on factors like battery type, quantity, and mode of transport – with air and ocean regulations differing significantly.
