Consult state environmental agency.
SECTION14---Transport Information
Large batteries are considered to be "Dry cell" batteries and are unregulated for purpose of
transportation by the U.S. DOT, ICAO, IATA and IMDG. The only DOT requirement for shipping
these batteries is special provision 130 which states: “Batteries, dry are not subject to the
requirements of this subchapter only when they are oered for transportation in a manner that
prevents the dangerous evolution of heat(For example, by the eective insulation of exposed
terminals). The only requirement for shipping these batteries 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 eective 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 Goads Cade {IMDG) regulate them for
ocean transportation under Special Provision 304 which says: Batteries, dry, containing corrosive
electrolyte
which will not ow out of the battery if the battery case is cracked are not subject to
the provision of this Code provided the batteries are securely packed and protected against
short-circuits. Example of such batteries are alkali manganese, zinc carbon, nickel metal
hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries. Such battery have been packed in inner packaging in
such a manner as to eectively prevent short circuit and movement that could lead to short-circuit.
