will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily
knocked over.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently
come into contact with conductive materials. When
transporting batteries, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well‑insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit. NOTE: Lithium‑ion batteries should not be put in
checked baggage.
STANLEY FATMAX batteries comply with all applicable
shipping regulations as prescribed by industry and legal
standards, which include UN Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport
Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations; International
Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations; and the
European Agreement Concerning The International Carriage
of Dangerous Goods by Road (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 STANLEY FATMAX battery pack
will be 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 Wh
rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation
complexities, STANLEY FATMAX does not recommend air
shipping lithium‑ion battery packs alone regardless of Wh
rating. Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air
shipped as excepted if the Wh 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

that its activities comply with the applicable regulations.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excessive heat or cold. For
optimum battery performance and life, store battery packs
at room temperature when not in use.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the
charger for optimal results.
(Original instructions)
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
