Lithium batteries must be transported as dangerous goods and so they must follow the relevant mode regulations. This topic summarises the requirements for the transport of lithium ion and lithium metal batteries by road and considers some of the differences for the transport by air.
Lithium battery transport and requirements of the Manual of Tests and Criteria. As far as transport is concerned, lithium batteries, if properly certified and specially packaged, can be shipped by road, sea, rail or air.
As far as transport is concerned, lithium batteries, if properly certified and specially packaged, can be shipped by road, sea, rail or air. However, medium and large batteries are among the goods not accepted by airlines, which disallow their transportation on cargo flights.
In addition, lithium-ion cells and batteries shipped by themselves must be shipped at a state of charge not exceeding 30% of their rated capacity. Lithium batteries are dangerous goods, and all of the regulatory requirements must be complied with, as set out in the Lithium Battery Shipping Regulations.
Lithium metal batteries contain metallic lithium and are primarily non-rechargeable. They have lithium metal or lithium compounds as an anode. Included in this group are lithium alloy batteries. On the other hand, lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable, and lithium is only present in the electrolyte in the ionic form.
Lithium Battery – The term “lithium battery” refers to a family of batteries with different chemistries, comprising many types of cathodes and electrolytes. For the purposes of the DGR they are separated into: Lithium metal batteries. Are generally primary (non-rechargeable) batteries that have lithium metal or lithium compounds as an anode.
