Transportation Information * * *
Lithium-ion batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations as prescribed by industry and legal
standards which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; IATA Dangerous
Goods Regulations and US DOT requirements. Cells and Batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of the
UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria. All of the
batteries listed in this Safety Data Sheet are greater than 100 Whrs; therefore, most modes of
transportation require the batteries to be shipped as fully regulated Class 9 Hazardous Material. In the
United States, special provision 189 of the Hazardous Materials Regulations provides an exception from
fully regulated Class 9 shipping when shipping batteries with up to 25 grams of equivalent lithium content
(approximately 300 Watt Hours) by motor vehicle or rail car.
