Material Safety Data Sheet Model No.:
New Leader / coin type Lithium Battery
Section XII – Transportation Information
New Leader 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 provisions of
this Code provided the batteries are securely packed and protected against short-circuits. Examples of such batteries are :
alkaline-manganese, zinc-carbon, 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.
Section XIII – Regulatory Information
Special requirement be according to the local regulatories.
Section XIV – Other Information
The data in this Material Safety Data Sheet relates only to the specific material designated herein.
Section XV – Measures for fire extinction
In case of fire, it is permissible to use any class of extinguishing medium on these batteries or their packing material. Cool exterior of
batteries if
exposed to fire to prevent rupture.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
