Transport of damaged lithium batteries
Special provision 376
Damaged or defective lithium batteries are:
-
Cells or batteries that are identified as defective due to safety reasons
- Leaking or degassed cells or batteries (pressure relief mechanism activated)
- Cells or batteries with defects that cannot be diagnosed prior to shipment.
- Cells or batteries that have an external or mechanical damage deformed/broken
housing, tarnished metal parts, heating in switched off state)

Used batteries or batteries that are no longer in full working order and are in
perfect safety condition do NOT count towards this category
 Packages must have the sign “DAMAGED/DEFECTIVE LITHIUM ION
BATTERIES”
Cells and batteries that tend, under normal transport conditions, to a quick decomposition,
dangerous reaction, flame formation or a dangerous emission of poisonous, caustic or
flammable gases or vapors, may only be transported under the provisions made by the
responsible authority (-> BAM)
Packaging instruction P908:

The outer packaging for cells and batteries and equipment that contain cells need
to correspond with the requirements of packaging group II:
- Barrels (1A2, 1B2, 1N2, 1H2, 1D, 1G)
-
Boxes (4A, 4B, 4N, 4C1, 4C2, 4D, 4F, 4G, 4H1, 4H2)
-
Canister (3A2, 3B2, 3H2)

damaged or defective cells or batteries must be packed individually in an inner
packaging and placed in an outer packaging.

Inner packaging or outer packaging must be dense, to prevent a possible leak of
electrolyte.

Each inner packaging needs to be enclosed with sufficient not burnable and non-
conductive thermal insulation material for the protection against a dangerous heat
development.
 Tightly sealed packaging must be equipped with a venting device if necessary.

Suitable measurements to minimize the impacts of vibrations and shocks, and to
prevent movements of the cells and batteries inside the packaging
