14. Transport Information
TianQiu Alkaline button cells are considered to be “dry cell” batteries and are unregulated
for purposes of transportation by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT),
International Civil Aviation Administration (ICAO), International Air Transport Association
(IATA) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The only requirements for shipping these cells by DOT 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). "
The only requirements for shipping these cells by ICAO and IATA is Special Provision
A123 which states: “An electrical battery or battery powered device having the potential of
dangerous evolutions of heat that is not prepared so as to prevent a short-circuit (e.g. in the case of
batteries, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals; or in the case of equipment, by
disconnection of the battery and protection of exposed terminals) is forbidden from transportation.”
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 bateery 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-manganese, zinc-carbon, nickel metal hydride
and nickel-cadmium batteries.”
