These energy sources are designed to provide high levels of power, making them a potential safety risk during transportation.
WEBJul 9, 2024 — For lithium batteries, it’s usually UN3480 (for standalone lithium batteries) or UN3481 (for batteries contained in equipment). This number is essential for identifying the type of hazardous material during transport.
WEBFeb 4, 2019 — If you ship what we call “excepted” lithium batteries, you will need to start using the “lithium battery mark” (seen below). Excepted cells/batteries are defined as: Lithium ion cells ≤ 20 Wh; Lithium ion batteries ≤ 100 Wh; Lithium metal cells ≤ 1 gram of lithium; Lithium metal batteries ≤ 2 grams of lithium
WEBIATA has created a training course on Shipping Lithium Batteries by Air that covers all aspects of the identification, packing, marking and labeling, as well as the documentation requirements on lithium batteries transportation.
