of proper regulation. As electric capacity is left in a discarded battery and it comes into
contact with other metals, it could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, so
make sure to cover the (+) and (-) terminals with friction tape or some other insulator before
disposal.
14. Transport information (Non-mandatory)
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged
in a safe and responsible manner. Regulatory concerns from all agencies for safe packaging
require that batteries be packaged in a manner that prevents short circuits and be contained in
“strong outer packaging” that prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for Maxell
manganese batteries has been designed to be compliant with these regulatory concerns.
Manganese batteries (sometimes referred to as “Dry cell” batteries) are not listed as
dangerous goods under the ADR European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage
of Dangerous Goods by Road, the IMDG International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, UN
Dangerous Good Regulations, IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 62nd edition, ICAO
Technical Instructions and the U.S. hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR). These batteries
are not subject to the dangerous goods regulations provided they meet the requirements
contained in the following special provisions
