Battery Handling, Storing, and Transporting (Cat. No. 1747-BA)

Handling
ATTENTION: Do not charge the batteries. An explosion could
result or the cells could overheat causing burns.
!
Do not open, puncture, crush, or otherwise mutilate the batteries.
An explosion may result and/or toxic, corrosive, and flammable
liquids would be exposed.
Storing
Store the lithium batteries in a cool, dry environment, typically +20° C to +25° C
(+68° F to +77° F) and 40% to 60% relative humidity.
Transporting
One or Two Batteries — Up to two batteries can be shipped together within the
United States without restriction. Regulations governing shipment to or within
other countries may differ.
Three or More Batteries — Procedures for the transportation of three or more
batteries shipped together within the United States are specified by the
Department of Transportation (DOT) in the Code of Federal Regulations,
CFR49, "Transportation." An exemption to these regulations, DOT - E7052,
covers the transport of certain hazardous materials classified as flammable solids.
This exemption authorizes transport of lithium batteries by motor vehicle, rail
freight, cargo vessel, and cargo-only aircraft, providing certain conditions are
met. Transport by passenger aircraft is not permitted.
Shipment of depleted batteries for disposal may be subject to specific regulation
of the countries involved or to regulations endorsed by those countries, such as
the IATA Restricted Articles Regulations of the International Air Transport
Association, Geneva, Switzerland.
Important:
Regulations for transportation of lithium batteries are periodically
revised.
