(ADR). Lithium‑ion cells and batteries have been tested to
section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a D
excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class
9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a
lithium‑ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt
Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9.
All lithium‑ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on
the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, D
does not recommend air shipping lithium‑ion battery packs
alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of tools with
batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt
Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100 Wh.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentation requirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
