The battery when shipped alone is a class 9 hazmat, under the category of lithium batteries
UN 3090. If the total weight of the shipment exceeds 5 kg they are restricted from carriage

THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXCERPT FROM FAA AC 91-44A PARAGRAPH 8.a WHICH
DEFINES WHEN ELT BATTERY REPLACEMENT MAY BE DONE UNDER 14 CFR PART
43.3(h) AS PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE.
“…The replacement can be done by the pilot if the preventive maintenance limitations of part 43.3(h) of
the FAR, are complied with. For example, a portable type ELT that is readily accessible and can be
removed and reinstalled in the aircraft by a simple operation should be considered preventive
maintenance. Fixed type ELT installations are often permanently mounted in a remote area of the
aircraft near flight control cables, vital aircraft components, and critical attachments to the aircraft
structure. Installations of this nature require an external antenna and often a remote on/off transmitter
control switch that is usually located near the pilots flight position. This type of installation is complex
and battery replacement should be accomplished by a certified mechanic or certified repair station…”
