Transportation Information
Fullriver DC, Full Force, and Full Throttle batteries are sealed lead-acid batteries
made with Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology. The electrolyte is absorbed into
the fiberglass separator material rather than in a free-flowing liquid form.
Fullriver DCG and FSG batteries are sealed lead-acid batteries made with gelled
electrolyte technology. The electrolyte is suspended in a thixotropic gel applied to
the plates rather than in a free-flowing liquid form.
Fullriver batteries are non-spillable electric storage batteries. They are exempt from
the requirements of DOT’s hazardous materials regulations since they adhere to the
requirements of code 49 CFR Section 173.159(D), which states:
A non-spillable, wet, electric storage battery is exempt from all other
requirements of this sub-chapter under the following conditions:
• The battery must be protected against short circuits and securely packaged
• The battery and outer packaging must be plainly and durably marked “NON-
SPILLABLE” or “NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY“
• The battery must be capable of withstanding the Vibration and Pressure
Differential test specified in 49 CFR 173.159(d)(3)(i) and 49 CFR 173.159(d)(3)(ii);
and
• At a temperature of 131°F (55°C), the battery must not contain an unabsorbed,
free-flowing liquid, and must be designed so that electrolyte will not flow from a
ruptured or cracked case.
Fullriver batteries are protected against short circuits and are securely packaged.
Both the batteries and the outer packaging are clearly marked “NON-SPILLABLE“.
Fullriver batteries were tested by a third party lab and determined to be in
compliance with DOT regulations as stated in code 49 CFR Section 173.159(D).
Since Fullriver batteries meet all the requirements, they are considered non-
hazardous and therefore do not require a UN number or additional DOT hazardous
material labeling.
This notice is to clarify to shippers and transporters that our batteries
are packaged and marked in accordance to 49 CFR 173.159(D) and are
determined to be in compliance with DOT HMR49 Non-Hazardous Materials,
and the International Air Transportation Association (IATA), Special
Provisions S.P. A67 & A48.
Therefore, Fullriver batteries are not restricted for shipment by air or
any other means of transportation and are exempt from the hazardous
material category.
