1.3. Transporting your External Battery eX1
There are specific regulations for transporting batteries:
• Transport by car: External batteries need to be removed and transported
in a safe area inside the car, in their original box and properly secured with
straps to prevent damage during transport, as these are hazardous goods.
• Transport by air: The IATA (International Air Transportation Association) will
not transport any eBike batteries.
• Transport by train: In most cases, external eBike batteries are allowed to
be transported inside trains if the train does not provide a specific safe area
for transportation. Check your local regulations or ask your transportation
company before setting off on your trip.
• Public transportation: Our products can be transported by public
transport. There are some places where you are not permitted to take your
External Battery eX1, so ensure that you find out about the conditions of
carriage in plenty of time. You should also take into account the regulations
and city rules for carrying it through places you intend to travel to before you
start your trip.
Remember that, in any case, the best option is to transport the battery when
the battery level is under 30%.
1.3.1. External Battery eX1 Shipment
If, for any reason, you need to ship the battery, this must be done through an
official service following the specific rules for transporting dangerous goods
and the recommendations from MAHLE and the eBike manufacturer. The
battery needs to be placed in a specific, certified box and all the official
documentation, i.e., the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) report, must be
included. This process cannot be performed by individuals.
