Lithium Battery Transportation | ||
Rules of Thumb for Transportation of BiPOWER Lithium Batteries Updated U.S. and International rules and Regulations for Lithium Battery Transportation, both primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) lithium cells/batteries. U.S. Department of Transportation New Lithium Battery Interim Final Rule The transportation of non-rechargeable lithium and rechargeable lithium ion and lithium polymer cells and batteries is regulated in the United States in accordance with Part 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, (49 CFR Sections 100-185) of the US Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). Electronic Code of Federal Regulations - 49 CFR § 173.185 - Lithium cells and batteries The international transportation of lithium cells and batteries is regulated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions and corresponding International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code. Current IATA Guidance Document on Transport of Lithium Metal and Lithium Ion Batteries IATA Lithium Battery Packaging Instructions Under United Nations transportation regulations primary lithium and rechargeable lithium ion and lithium polymer cells and batteries must comply with the UN T1 - T8 testing requirements. The UN tests listed below are specified in the Fourth Revised Edition of the Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (ST-SG-AC10-11-Rev5-Amend1e).
T2: Thermal T3: Vibration T4: Shock T5: External Short Circuit T6: Impact T7: Overcharge T8: Forced Discharge (a) A change of more than 0.1 g or 20% by mass, whichever is greater, to the cathode, to the anode, or to the electrolyte; or (b) A change that would materially affect the test results. | ||
