- Transportation Information
CORUN 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 are: alkali-manganese, zinc-carbon, sliver oxide, nickel metal
hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries which are non-dangerous goods. Such batteries have been packed in
inner packaging in such a manner as to effectively prevent short circuit and movement that could lead to short
circuit.
