Transportation Information * * *
Lithium-ion batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations as prescribed by industry and legal
standards which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; IATA Dangerous
Goods Regulations and US DOT requirements. 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. All of the
batteries listed in this Safety Data Sheet are less than or equal to 100 Whrs; therefore, air shipment of up to
2 batteries without equipment in a package can be shipped as an “excepted” quantity and does not require
being shipped as a fully regulated Class 9 Hazardous Material. If more than 2 batteries without equipment
are being shipped in one package, using air transportation, then the package is considered a fully
regulated shipment and must meet the more stringent documentation, marking, and labeling requirements.
