Transporting of Undischarged Lithium Batteries
Procedures for the transportation of lithium batteries within the United States are
specified by the Department of Transportation (DOT) in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), Title 49, Transportation and the International Air Transport
Association (IATA), Dangerous Goods Regulations. These regulations authorize
transport of lithium batteries by motor vehicle, rail freight, cargo ship, and
cargo-only aircraft providing certain conditions are met within the United States.
Typical shipping configurations for the lithium battery include:
•
Lithium batteries packaged singularly or in bulk - Transport of lithium
batteries by motor vehicle, rail freight, cargo ship, and cargo-only aircraft is
permissible within the United States. Refer to current regulations for
packaging, marking, documentation, and weight limitations. Trasport by
passenger-carrying railcar or aircraft is prohibited.
•
Lithium batteries installed in the Bulletin 1403 Master Module as part of a
demonstration case - Regulations authorize transport of lithium batteries in
equipment by motor vehicle, rail freight, cargo ship, and cargo-only aircraft
providing certain conditions are met. Transport by passenger-carrying railcar
or aircraft is prohibited.
•
Lithium battery packaged with a new Bulletin 1403 Master Module - When
shipping the single lithium battery with the Master Module, reuse the
original Master Module container plus the lithium battery’s carton and data
sheet. Install the packaged lithium battery inside the Master Module
container so as to prevent movement of the lithium battery and its carton.
The container protecting the Master Maodule and packaged lithium battery is
regarded as an overpack for the purposes of compliance with the labelling
and documentation requirements.
Regulations authorize transport of undischarged lithium batteries by motor
vehicle, rail freight, cargo ship, and cargo-only aircraft providing certain
conditions are met. Transport by passenger-carrying railcar or aircraft is
prohibited.Transport by passenger-carrying railcar or aircraft is prohibited.
This lithium battery is neither safety vented nor hermetically sealed.
Prior to transporting lithium batteries into foreign countries and trading blocks,
consult local regulations for the appropriate procedures for handling, storing,
transporting, packaging, labeling, documentation, and disposing of the
undischarged or discharged lithium batteries, catalog number 1403-BA.
