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

(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 battery 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: alkaline-manganese,
zinc-carbon, and nickel metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries”.
The requirements for shipping these batteries, in all modes of transportation, are that they be
separated from each other to prevent short-circuits and to prevent movement that could lead to
short-circuits. Products must also be packed in strong packaging that can withstand the rigors
normal to transportation.
