Section XIV – Transportation Information
GP batteries 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 International Maritime Dangerous Goods
Regulations (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 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 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 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 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 is: alkali-manganese, zinc-carbon, and nickel metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries.
Non-dangerous goods.
Such battery has been packed in inner packaging in such a manner as to effectively prevent short circuit and movement that could lead to short circuit.
