Technical FAQs 4

Are lithium batteries shipped in a container?

There are three packaging categories for lithium batteries if they are being shipped in a container. When shipping lithium batteries, it is crucial to check the rules and regulations ahead of transportation, or work with an experience shipping partner to ensure that your cargo is shipped following best practices.

What are the shipping requirements for lithium batteries?

Some general shipping requirements to transport lithium batteries internationally include: Lithium batteries weighing over 35kg must be approved by the national authority of the shipping and destination country before shipment. Defective or damaged lithium batteries must not be transported.

How many lithium batteries can be shipped?

Only a maximum of four can be sent, with two per container, and each battery must have a rating of below 100 watts per hour. It is essential to note that some countries have their own regulations and restrictions for shipping lithium batteries, so it is crucial to check with the destination country’s customs authorities before shipping.

Can You ship lithium hydride batteries internationally?

While not as strictly regulated as lithium batteries, there are still guidelines to follow when shipping dry cell and nickel-metal hydride batteries internationally. The safest way to ship batteries is within the device they power. Ensure terminals are protected (e.g., with tape or caps) and pack the device to prevent accidental activation.
