Many SDS are just plain wrong when it comes to lithium battery shipping information.“Wilful” violations can involve criminal prosecution and penaltites - especially if there is death, injury or property damage that is a result of this intentional disregard of the regulations.

This is for accidental violation of the rules where there is no intent to “wilfully” violate the requirements.

The penalties for failing to properly package or properly offer for transport a lithium battery can carry fines of up to $55,000 dollars per package per day.

These batteries or subsequent battery packs must then be tested again. lithium ion cells from suppliers in China - and then construct a battery out of these approved cells.

Many companies purchase tested cells - i.e.

These tests are designed (among other things) to simulate real world conditions, including conditions normally incident to transportation.

With few exceptions, all lithium cells must be tested according to strict UN standards which provide specific criteria.There's a good article written by an expert in dangerous goods shipping, he notes these 7 key points: I like many of us have to do a lot long distance, I made sure to keep all the shipping materials from both my ebikes. Being the receiver, it's almost as important to know the transport issues as it is for the shipper. It's difficult to keep on top of all this and worse when one is trying to get up to speed with the tech side of LEV's and batteries. LiPo, typically used in RC stuff can be extremely dangerous, that's evident by the fact most advise to store LiPo in fire proof and even explosion proof containers. Not only does it need the proper documentation and labeling, but the packing materials have to be of a certain type and grade.Īfter posting that listing from Amazon, I looked again and noticed several listings of "ebike" LiPo batteries from the same company with instruction to ignore the labeling, it's just a dodge to be able to ship by air freight.
