14. Transportation Information
Intec sealed Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are considered to be “dry cell” batteries and is
not regulated by International Maritime Dangerous Goods Regulation (IMDG). Improperly
packed cells or battery packs when exposed to the vibration of long-distance transportation
can be caused short circuit. The keys to proper shipment are as the follows:
a. Possible insulate the tables to prevent contact.
b. Cells or battery packs are heavy and deserve the protection of adequate strength boxes.
c. If stacking cells vertically, insulation between layers of cells must resist breaking down
under the stress of transportation.
d. Avoid over stacking boxes of cells or battery packs so that the packaging of the lower
tier is damaged.
e. During the transportation of a large amount of batteries by ship, trailer or railway, do not
leave them in the places of high temperatures and do not allow them to be exposed to
condensation.
f. During the transportation do not allow packages to be fallen down or damaged.
g. "Dry cell" batteries are not subject to dangerous goods regulation for the purpose of
transportation by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA) or
the International Maritime Dangerous Goods regulations (IMDG). The only DOT
requirement for shipping Nickel Metal Hydride batteries is Special Provision 123 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)." IATA requires that
batteries being transported by air must be protected from short-circuiting and protected
from movement that could lead to short-circuiting.
