Technical FAQs 4

What types of batteries can be transported by air?

You will encounter two main types when transporting lithium batteries by air: lithium ion batteries and lithium metal batteries. Lithium ion batteries, often used in consumer electronics like laptops and smartphones, are rechargeable and have a typical energy density of 160–270Wh/kg for NMC Lithium battery and 180–230Wh/kg for LCO Lithium battery.

Can lithium batteries be transported by air?

Use cargo aircraft for standalone lithium batteries and never ship damaged or recalled batteries to avoid penalties and safety hazards. You will encounter two main types when transporting lithium batteries by air: lithium ion batteries and lithium metal batteries.

Can I ship lithium ion batteries on cargo aircraft only?

You must ship these batteries on cargo aircraft only. This rule applies to both lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries shipped without equipment. Cargo Aircraft Only (CAO) Label: You must affix a CAO label to every package containing standalone lithium batteries.

How do I transport a lithium ion battery?

You must pay close attention to the state of charge (SoC) and quantity limits when transporting lithium batteries. For lithium-ion batteries shipped by air (UN 3480), IATA requires that you ship them at no more than 30% of their rated capacity unless you have special approval. This rule reduces the risk of thermal runaway during transport.
