Transportation
D WALT batteries comply with all applicable
e
shipping regulations as prescribed by industry
and legal standards which include UN
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods; International Air Transport Association
(IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, International
Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations,
and the European Agreement Concerning The
International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road
(ADR). Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been
tested to section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations
on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of
Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a D
will be excepted from being classified as a fully
regulated Class 9 Hazardous material. In general,
the two instances that require shipping Class 9 are:
1. Air shipping more than two D
battery packs when the package contains only
battery packs (no tools), and
2. Any shipment containing a lithium-ion battery
with an energy rating greater than 100 watt
hours (Wh). All lithium-ion batteries have the
watt hour rating marked on the pack.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered
excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's
responsibility to consult the latest regulations for
packaging, labeling/marking and documentation
requirements.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fire if the
battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials. When transporting batteries,
make sure that the battery terminals are protected
and well insulated from materials that could contact
them and cause a short circuit.
