Can I ship a battery fully charged?
The Trojan GC2 48V Lithium-Ion Battery is classified as UN3480 and as such must
be at or below 50% state of charge when shipped via land or sea and below 30%
state of charge when shipped via air.
Can I ship lead acid with
Lithium-Ion?
Yes, as long as both battery types are properly packaged and labeled, they can be
shipped on the same vehicle.
Wherever possible, putting Lithium-Ion and lead-acid batteries on the same pallet
should be avoided. If it cannot be avoided, the pallet must be clearly labeled as
containing both.
Lithium-Ion batteries must be individually packed and labeled on the pallet as well.
Are there any restrictions
to shipping Lithium-Ion?
A battery subject to UN3480 like the Trojan GC2 48V Lithium-Ion Battery cannot be
transported on a passenger aircraft. As long as it is correctly prepared, packaged and
labeled, no other restrictions apply. Refer to the GC2 48V Lithium-Ion Battery User's
Guide or Packaging Requirements section of this FAQ for details on preparation and
packing.
