Transport
The recommended lithium-ion batteries are subject to legislation on the transport of dan-
gerous goods. The user can transport the batteries by road without further require-
ments.
When shipping by third parties (e.g.: by air transport or forwarding agency), special re-
quirements on packaging and labelling must be observed. For preparation of the item be-
ing shipped, consulting an expert for hazardous material is required.
