Battery Storage
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.
Battery Transportation
One or Two Batteries
You can ship up to two batteries 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.
ATTENTION
Do not incinerate or dispose of lithium batteries in general trash
collection. Explosion or violent rupture is possible. Batteries
should be collected for disposal in a manner to prevent against
short circuiting, compacting, or destruction of case integrity and
hermetic seal.
