Section XIV – Transport Information
Motorola sealed NiMH battery packs are considered to be “dry cell” batteries and are not subject to dangerous goods regulations for
purposes of transportation by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), International Civil Aviation Administration (ICAO),
International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods regulations (IMDG).
Air shipments must comply with ICAO and IATA Special Provision A123, which includes the requirement that “Any electrical battery or
battery powered device having the potential of dangerous evolution 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 transport.”
Under IATA regulations, effective January 1, 2009, any waybill accompanying a consignment of these batteries must contain the words
“Non-restricted” and “Special Provision A123”.
DOT shipments must comply with Special Provision 130. Ocean shipments must comply with IMO Special Provision 304. These
Special Provisions have requirements which are similar to the requirements found in IATA Special Provision A123.
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. These products are labeled in accordance to requirements for cargo shipments of NiMH
batteries and cells.
