- UN 3481 Lithium-ion batteries packed with equipment
- UN 3090 Lithium metal batteries (non-rechargeable lithium batteries)
- UN 3091 Lithium metal batteries contained in equipment
- UN 3091 Lithium metal batteries packed with equipment
How to pack your lithium battery shipment?
- All batteries need to have parameters (voltage V, capacity MAH, model), and all wires must be insulated.
- Put one battery in a bag and then put it in the inner box (the bag is not required, each battery needs to be put in a box)
- Each battery is separated so that it does not touch each other, and is fixed so that it does not shake.
