Battery Handling, Storing, and Transporting
(Cat. No. 1747-BA; containing Sanyo CR14250SE battery cell)
Handling
Storing
Store the lithium batteries in a cool, dry environment, typ20°C to +25°C
(+68°F to +77°F) and 40% to 60% relative humidity.
Transporting
One or Two Batteries - Up to two batteries can be shipped 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.
ATTENTION
!
Do not charge the batteries. An explosion could result or the
cells could overheat causing burns. Do not open, puncture,
crush, or otherwise mutilate the batteries. An explosion may
result and/or toxic, corrosive, and flammable liquids would be
exposed.
IMPORTANT
Regulations for transportation of lithium batteries are
periodically revised.
